This is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read on personal finance, investing and just understanding the overall industry. I now understand why I need to do certain things and when. The advice is sound, easy to understand and I have personally found to be extremly successful. I will recommend this book to my business partners, family and friends. The college funding section was so eye opening, even though my children are past this need, I wish I would have read when they were younger it would have changed my planning. The retirement section was amazing and has changed my families life. Thank you, Thank you…a great resource and life changing book.

I think the key to frugality is longevity. It can’t be a one-off attempt to save money, it needs to a complete lifestyle change. If you decide to be frugal and ride your bike to work to save gas, bring a lunch from home, and avoid buying alcohol at dinner, you’ll save a lot of money. But one silly (expensive) night out can make all those little cost-saving moves insignificant in a heartbeat.

Traciatim: Having reviewed the book also, you should always look for Canadian oriented book. Although there are some useful things in there, there are always mentions of US tax/retirement plans that might or might not ring a bell for you. There should be many Canadian oriented ones that would suit your circumstances.

Being in Canada we have different savings and investment products than the USA, do you think this book will translate well to Canada, or should we look for a more Canadian oriented book?

Sadly my local library system does not have it and it is not in the system to be on order.

I’ll have to put that one on my library list. No since buying it if I can get it for free from the library!
