This should be required reading for every college age person. Financial planning written as a story and in plain English. ( )

Hey this is excellent. Could have done without the "haha feminists" cracks, and it ain't great literature, but this is a very quick, clear & informative book for beginners about setting up your finances. ( )

I was quite impressed with the no-nonsense, easy-to-understand approach to financial planning. Indeed if you did just these simple things, you would be in great shape! It was even kinda fun to read because it was written as a story describing several months learning from their barber. Definitely a must read!

The basics that everyone should know but yet so many don't. If you are simply not a finaqnce person but need something to give you what you need to get set up and then forget about - this would be that book. ( )

Extremely readable guide to understanding and applying personal finance. Obviously written in the 80's (dialog included), but get past that and it's very much worth it. ( )

The Wealthy Barber

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0761513116, Paperback)

" . . . quite simply the best financial self-help book."
--Money Book Club, Book-of-the-Month Club

In this new and updated edition of one of the biggest-selling financial-planning books ever, David Chilton simplifies the complex puzzles of personal finance and helps you achieve financial independence. With the help of his fictional barber, Roy, and a large dose of humor, Chilton shows you how to take control of your financial future--slowly, steadily, and with sure success. Chilton's plan (detailed in an entertaining story) is no get-rich-quick scheme, but it does make financial independence possible on nothing more than an average salary.
This third edition has been updated with assistance from the Arthur Andersen Corporation, and covers the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and other recent developments.
Even if you consider yourself a financial "basket case," Chilton explains how you can easily put an effective financial plan into action.
