I was very disappointed in this book. It was too repetitive and I got very bored while hoping something better was coming later. Basically, it was more of the same thing that I read in an earlier chapter, and also learned in 7th grade in personal finance class. I was looking for a little more advanced material like how to analyze stocks, P/E ratios, leveraging, short sells, etc, Unfortunately, it just wasn't there. If you buy stocks, but don't care where they go because as mentioned several show more times in the book - "don't worry about that right now" this book is for you. show less

This book is great for anyone who doesn't know much about saving for retirement. It was very readable and very straightforward. It gave a great overview of the basics as well as a quick look at more in depth stuff plus fairly exact recommendations of what you should do with your money to have enough to live on during retirement no matter what age you are now. Very informative! Don't procrastinate, start now!
