I saw this in the library today and spent about 2hrs reading it. To be fair, the book gave some basic advice on saving money and invest it for the future. Unfortunately, it's just like 99% of the so-called financial advice books out there -- telling stuff most people already know.

This book should be a must buy (or borrow from the library if you are really frugal) for all wage earners. A simple step by step guide to get you out of debt and on the road to financial freedom. The book gives you the tools to get started on Day 1. Highly recommended.

One way to start yourself on the road to financial independence is to save the money you would spend on this book and just read some advertising from any mutual fund provider. Halfway through the book, the author lets us in on how he made his money. Not made from his sound investments, but from direct marketing of pamphlets providing "investment advice". The kind of "get rich quick" scheme you find in the back of second rate magazines. When I hit that piece of information, I threw the book out. I couldn't even sell it second hand with good conscience.
