I have really mixed feelings about this book. While it is a decent primer to people just being introduced to personal finance, there are a number of ideas and suggestions that are blatantly wrong. The author has clearly oversimplified some aspects of personal finance in his understanding and can easily lead the reader astray from well proven concepts and practices.
Due to this, I would not recommend this to people as a first book on personal finance, but it does have many good sections (such as the houses and cars sections) that would benefit people who already understand the basics.
At the very least it was a very easy and quick book to get through. The author does an excellent job of keeping dry topics interesting and not over-repeating themselves.
