Welcome to Litsy!

Got this book from my dad at Christmas, he got it from an estate sale for a couple bucks. Well Jan 8 Bella was probably mad she couldn‘t read it so she tore it up good. I‘ve set it aside for months and just now finished reading it. I recommend this book to young adults starting out their life. It‘s informative and resourceful financially, and they‘ll finish ahead on the wealthier side.

I‘ll admit I almost gave up half way through this but I did make it to the end. Not a bad book. She admits that a lot was made possible cause of the priv they have which is a breathe of fresh air.

He knows he is it and a bit! Enjoying the afternoon sun on my window. Keeping me company.

ETFs are the way to go.

Oh how I wish I could go back in time ✨

I downloaded this at bed time last night:) thought it would make a good read when I‘m struggling with sleep.

I‘m cheating a little on this answer. This isn‘t the last book I bought. However, it‘s the next book I‘m buying. I ordered it several days ago from the bookstore, and I expect they will have it in pretty soon.

I started reading it on Libby a while ago, but I realized it has a lot of “exercises” that were awkward to do in that format. I finally got around to ordering my own physical copy! It‘s probably even more relevant these days.

Might get that feeling? That the rich exploit their employees?

😬😬😬

I wish more companies were like Dr. Bronner‘s. They implement a salary cap. The highest paid employee‘s salary is limited to 5x that of the lowest paid employee. Imagine if all companies adopted this model. What a difference that would make in everyone‘s quality of life.

Authors list several characteristics of millionaires. I laughed when I read this one. The good old days of pension plans. Even when I was teaching and money was deducted from my paycheck for state pension, I never relied on them managing that money well.

Meh. Most recent research was from mid-90s to early 2000s, so examples are outdated. In 2025 the authors & the millionaires come across to this Gen Xer as out-of-touch Boomers. Basic concept is live below your means. Stealth wealth. Lots of pages on car buying habits and how to raise kids to become wealthy w/o relying on cash infusions from parents. Nothing really new here. Some of the anecdotes were amusing. #ReadYourEbooks

Current read reflecting on the financial aspects of a life well lived. I'm glad it acknowledged very early on that globally a privileged few actually have disposable income with which they could take on board his viewpoint.

Already this is starting to feel like a lot of padding to get his central idea to book length though.....i think this will be a skim read.
