If your a beginner invest this book is for you. The breakdown of this book is amazing. It tells the meaning, what to invest in ..and even gives the ticket stocks to these investments.

Overall I love this book for people who are not financially savvy. It's a great introduction to investments and long term goals. I decided to read this before gifting it and I thought I saw that this was updated recently, however, after reading I would say the updates are already outdated. I made sticky note notes throughout the book so the young person I gifted it to can know the updates that I was aware of.

Im about a third of the way done with this book and have got to say this book is very well written and has many great tips and options for what do do with your money I had never even heard of some of the things mentioned in this book great read for those wanting to learn about investing early on and options for different amounts depending on how much your able to or comfortable with investing. Overall great read for anyone interested in investing in their future definitely recommend.

I really like that there’s a calendar to show you what to invest and how to cut costs monthly. Good buy!!

This book is a solid resource for anyone who wants to start investing but doesn’t know where to begin. It breaks things down in a clear, step-by-step way that feels realistic and not overwhelming, especially if you’re working with a smaller amount of money. I liked that it focuses on low-risk strategies and practical advice rather than hype. It’s easy to follow, informative, and motivating for beginners who want to build confidence with investing.

Didn't end up reading much of it. I got to the part where it was talking about finding a bank with an express line and stopped there. I didn't do my due diligence and check beforehand, but this book was written in 1987. It seems outdated. I'm sure at the time it was a good read. Book and condition arrived, as expected. If you're really looking for investing today, I'd look for a newer book.
