Review of Millionaire By Thirty

Douglas Andrew’s book reads like a rejected first draft of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and right off the bat, it’s kitschy premise (ripped right from the above book) falls more than a little flat. In order to illustrate his points, the author relies on his sons and their imaginary friends – and the discussions [...]

Review of Last Chance Millionaire

Douglas Andrew’s book targets the baby boomer generation and tries to convince them that it is not too late to become a millionaire and avoid living on soup kitchen handouts to survive retirement. That’s a pretty tall order and a lot of authors have failed at this exact same premise. While Andrew’s book is well [...]

A Review of Rich Dad Poor Dad

With all of the hype surrounding Robert T. Kiyosaki’s book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, I fully expected a life changing read that would open new horizons and unlock the mysteries of the wealthy. What I got was a nice little parable with very little actual advice and a whole lot of pep talk. While there [...]

Review of the Millionaire Mind

Thomas J. Stanley’s follow-up to his well-received book The Millionaire Next Door, follows a pretty interesting premise. It basically picks the brains of millionaires to find out how they got their wealth and how they keep it. It certainly offers an interesting read and I do recommend it, but not as a book that is [...]

Book Review: You Don’t Have to Be Rich By Jean Chatzky

Can a book about lowering your financial expectations be any good? We were intrigued by the premise of this book and decided to give it a try. It was a bit surprising in some places, and a little disappointing in others, but overall it was a very interesting read that we found to be thought [...]

Why Didn’t Anyone Teach Me This Review

It’s not often that I do a book review. Though it seems that at least once a month some author’s marketing team sends me a new book, I almost never get around to them. The biggest reason is that I’m an extremely slow reader and most books would take me 8 hours to [...]
