There are better choices submitted by betsywil on June 21, 2013, 2:43pm This book is a combination of some good advice, some bad advice, some unrealistic advice and some noteworthy omissions. The book does a good job demonstrating the power of compounding, for good and for ill. And it is good to focus on the "first third" of one's financial life - one's 20's and 30's. BUT - it is odd for a book with this focus to say virtually nothing about student loans or financing an education.
