Money Management 101,
This review is from: He Said It! I Did It! Lessons from my Father on Mastering Personal Finance (Hardcover)
Charles W. Buffington III has written a sort of African-American version of Rich Dad, Poor Dad with his nonfiction financial advice book He Said It! I Did It! Buffington's story is that he was making a lot of money as a successful businessman until he got laid off. He then discovered he was deep in debt, shallow on credit, and short on friends. He then turned to his father, a man who had retired in his 50s and owned two homes, for practical advice. The rest of the book is a series of bromides from the dad about staying out of debt, establishing a routine of investing, and being honest with folks.
Although the book has some tried and true advice about how to set up a budget, how to reduce personal overhead and expenses, how to hunt for bargains, and how to plan for retirement, there is nothing really new or revolutionary in what is shared. In fact, the author readily credits Steven Covey, Tony Robbins and others with many of the ideas he teaches. However, what is genuine about the book is its consistent adherence to biblical principles about money management. Bible verses are quoted, Old and New Testament stories are retold, and serious discussions are brought up related to tithing and charity. Each chapter ends with an outline of the key points previously discussed and a series of Scripture verses applicable to the chapter's lessons. Anyone new to the basics of financial management will find this book to be a primer. It is not technical, but written in layman's language. The lessons are functional, helpful, and easily applied. This is not a book about aggressive investment strategies, leveraging, or speculations. It is a course in Money Management 101. - Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, Christian Book Previews.com

A Must Read For Anyone Under 50,
By
This review is from: He Said It! I Did It! Lessons from my Father on Mastering Personal Finance (Hardcover)
Finally a book about personal finances that is easy enough to understand and comprehensive enough to actually work. Not since reading "The Knowing Doing Gap" have I seen so many things that I said, "I knew that but I sure wish I had done something about it". After reading the Buffington's book, I immediately bought two more copies and sent it to my 34 year old kids with a mandate for them to read it and hopefully use it. From a spiritual perspective, it is the first time I have seen someone articulate not only the reason to tithe, but also explain how to get yourself out of the financial bondage to be able to know the joy of giving. "He Said It, I Did It" should be required reading for every college and high school student in America.
