This is an excellent book "On The Road To Wealth" that can form a solid base for a successful wealth building strategy for every family : solid advice from the dependable Mrs.Suze Orman (information can be used as self-help or as a solid base to consult a professional or both depending on your circumstances). The book is truly a well rounded all in one investment/wealth builder covering a wide variety of investment/wealth builder aspects from wise use of credit, student financial aid, real estate investment, stock market investment, retirement planning, mutual funds investments, life insurance & disability. This is a solid advice for one to able to make intelligent choices on savings, investment & retirement planning, a must read for every family, a highly recommended investment reading.

This is a book of strictly FAQ's; the entire format is reader questions and short answers by Suze. Questions such as "Will i be charged a fee for using my debit card?" and "What exactly is a credit score?" are among the very basic while "Does the money I get from a reverse mortgage affect my Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or SSi benefits?" are a little less known.

That being said, I skipped over a lot of the book because it wasn't relevant to my current situation. The insurance section cover's a lot of medicare and medicaid information that doesn't apply to me (26 yrs old, married, no kids), the financial intimacy section deals a lot with divorce, and I don't have any debt issues (for which 83 pages are devoted to). The homeowners sections was great, with lots of information about points and APR's that aren't talked about at banks. Paying for college had a lot of basic information and could have been summarized in about 3-4 pages instead of the 20 it is.

Tons of information, not much of it relevant and most of it fairly basic.

I don't rate many books, generally because I like them but this one is worth warning the reader: if you have basic knowledge of financial systems, this probably isn't for you. A book I really like, especially for younger adults is Suze's "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke." Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad Poor Dad" books are always worth reading as well.

I love Suze Orman. I have read all her books. This is just a updated version of her last book. What great and helpful information.
I will keep this book as a reference in my library. Thanks Suze......

It's always smart to keep updated since our economy and the world conditions are changing so rapidly. This is the latest edition of Orman's highly-respected book. It's updated and well worth adding to your personal finance library.

Most of the questions I've read so far don't apply to me, e.g., bankrupcy, that's why I find myself skipping many pages. When I bought the book I didn't have a clear idea that this was a catalog of FQA. It's good as a reference, that's it. (You'll be better off borrowing this book from your local library).

Este libro es un catalogo de las preguntas más comunes acerca de las finanzas personales. Muchos de los temas abordados no son de mi interés, por ejemplo, como irse a bancarrota. Debido a esto, he tenido que saltarme una cantidad de paginas de información que no es relevante para mi. En vez de comprarlo, es mejor prestar este libro en la biblioteca.

This book offers sound advice to follow in areas I never thought about. Who thinks about will's and life insurance. I sure didn't until I picked up this book. I like the set up of the book. Q&A type. Makes it easy to jump to the area of my question and look at the answers. I've given this to my nephew and suggested to my sister. Hope they follow Suze's advice.

Bought this book as a gift for my kids. They said it had a lot of good ideas and tips. Chose the used option but the book was hard to tell it was used at all.

We couldn't wait to get this book. We've heard so many good things about the information that she provides. It is all very, very helpful. I recommend this to everyone that wants to make sure they can live more comfortably.

So glad to have this 'new' revision of "The Road to Wealth" to send my 22 year old son off into the working world with...
