David Barr Chilton

This was pretty much all stuff I (even I) know, and a lot of the details were not that useful because I ended up with the US version somehow (even though the Barber is an originally Canadian phenomenon--they moved him from Sarnia to Ann Arbor), and they didn't give me a solid reason for getting life insurance (which I can't help but feel is ghoulish, though I come from a family that get pushy-backy and hostile whenever you mention the idea that anyone could get sick or get hit by a bus, show more except when the conclusion is "so what can you do, let's forget it"), and every aspect of home finance is worse than it was when the book was written (rates of return lower, housing prices higher, jobs more precarious, etc.), and it doesn't ever engage with the "fairness" questions even when it raises them itself, but it was still good to have it all like laid out in order. Now if I can just pay off all these back taxes (they got Al Capone) I can start saving my ten percent. show less

Funny enough, it was the conversation not the descriptions of retirement savings that made me bored stiff. I'd much rather have had the facts presented without the fluff of a "plot" and bad jokes. I wouldn't recommend, just watch some financial planning videos on Youtube instead.

Në këtë botim të përditësuar të një prej librave më të shitur ndonjëherë për planifikimin financiar, David Chilton thjeshton enigma të ndërlikuara të financave personale dhe të ndihmon të arrish pavarësinë financiare. Me ndihmën e berberit të tij imagjinar, Roy, dhe një dozë të madhe humori, Chilton tregon se si mund të marrësh kontrollin e së ardhmes tënde financiare — ngadalë, hap pas hapi dhe me sukses të sigurt.

Plani i Chiltonit (i shpjeguar përmes një show more historie argëtuese) nuk është një skemë për t’u pasuruar shpejt, por e bën pavarësinë financiare të arritshme edhe vetëm me një pagë mesatare. Edhe nëse e konsideron veten një “rast të humbur” kur vjen puna te financat, Chilton shpjegon se si mund të vësh lehtësisht në zbatim një plan financiar efektiv. show less

Ce livre devrait être une lecture obligatoire aux élèves du secondaire! Tout est expliqué très simplement et si tout le monde suivait les simples règles d'investissement décrites dans ce livre, personne n'aurait aucun problème à sa retraite. Personne!

Mon seul regret : ne pas avoir lu ce livre dans ma jeune vingtaine (ou avant)! Chacun de mes enfants vont avoir une copie de ce livre, c'est une promesse!
