Retire Young, Retire Rich

Robert Kiyosaki & Sharon Letcher

Click here to read more, or purchase.


• Another easy reading book in the Rich Dad series. Great information about the rules of making money vs. being wealthy with a stream of income eliminating the need to work. The use of passive income is the most power lesson one should learn. On the flip side, the book is not about making it rich quickly, it's about working hard, making good decisions, picking yourself up when things are not going your way, and being a continual student. For some this will always remain a pipe dream. Worth the money.

• For over a year I let this book sit in a to read pile. Partially because I thought the book would be of limited value and partially because having built several businesses, the material would be basic. The book is neither. Suze address finance in a personal manner that touches everyone from the people you love to the people you may leave behind one day. Read the book and follow her instructions. It's good advice.

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth

Ric Edelman

Click here to read more, or purchase.


• The majority of this book contains comments from Ric's clients and how they have accumulated money. The balance is a surface view of the basics of how money can be accumulated offering very little information except to save as much as you can as often as you can. With the emphasis on starting early in life. As for a thumbs up or down. This is a thumbs down. PS. The book is pre-stock market decline.


The Richest Man in Babylon

George S. Clason

• Given to me by a long time friend over 20 years ago, I finally took the time to read the book after finding it in our attic. In 140 pages, the author outlines methods to live by that can generate wealth in any age. A great book...no, an unbelievable book written during the early part of the 1900 and with a message of investing, saving, integrity and growth. Sure wish I had read the book long ago. Go back to Babylon. It's worth it!!
