Evans is best known for his novels - The Christmas Box was a NY Times bestseller. In this small book he passes on advice he learned as a youth from a man at his church. The principles are not difficult to understand, and anyone can do them. But the key is deciding to adhere to this advice and not succumb to the pressures of modern day living that equate conspicuous consumption with wealth. It’s a quick read, and it fulfilled a challenge to read a book about money, but I didn’t learn anything new.
I really enjoyed this book and it has caused me to re-think how I earn, save, and spend.
"Brief, to the point, good advice and summation.
This is good advice. There is nothing new here, just sound principles.
1) Decide to be wealthy
2) Take responsibility for your money
3) Keep a portion of everything you earn
4) Win in the margins (do additional stuff beyond your "day" job)
5) Give back
