I want to like this book.

The author has a solid grasp of safe withdrawal rates established by the Trinity study as well as realistic portfolio success rates based on historic periods. However, there is very much an assumption baked in that this book is targeted at someone. Read full review

I wanted to like this book, because the ratios seemed both conservative and easy to keep track of. However, the advice was just way too broad and simplistic (spend as little as possible on a car, for instance). When the author glossed over the differences between a 401k a. Read full review

Of all the personal finance books that I’ve read, this has been one of the best. The ratios described help you track your progress towards securing your financial future. Elegant in their simplicity, they rely on a hundred years of financial data to provide a reality chec. Read full review

A well-written and easy-to-follow book on personal finance based on a unique angle. It presents 8 ratios, or “rules of thumb” that you can follow to know where you stand financially, and to answer questions such as: Am I saving enough? Is this mortgage too much for me to. Read full review

This is a good beginning financial book for anyone who needs one, and a good check in for anyone further along in their financial life.

For me, I’m happy that it answers two questions that always nag me: do we have enough saved for retirement and how much should we save t. Read full review

This is one awesome book. It gives a template on how to manage your financial life through simple ideas (ratios). The reasons for the ratios are quite good too. This will be one book I will go back to from time to time.

I like this for its simplicity and tables. Not sophisticated and technical to take you thru the back calculations that this must take, but good for the everyday person to hold some rules of thumb

Nathan Schwartz rated it it was ok

Most personal finance is really simple, and I love to see books strip it down to the very bare bones, but here there were just too many places where there were total palm-to-the-face errors. He uses a 5.5% expected return for treasuries, yes this is what treasuries have y. Read full review
