I knew it!
I knew before buying this book that I was going to get fleeced. But I bought it anyway. Now the only person guaranteed to get rich is David Bach. I wish I could get my money back (or Bach).
Please don't waste time and money on this book. If you haven't already heard everything he talks about I suggest you are not from this planet. You would be better off buying a savings bond with the oney and cashing it on retirement day. It won't make you a millionaire but it will make you more than this book will.
All the advice presented here is available in many places. Heck, I bet your banker will give it you for free.
Eveyone has seen the investment charts in this book: you know the ones that say if you put away X dollars a year at an early age you will end up with over $1 million by age 65. Or the ones that compare the different invest strategies of two people. All these charts are based on absurbly high return rates on your investments.
Everyone knows how to make money. The problem is that not everyone is willing to make the effort. If who are willing to make the effort you are probably already doing it.
