Clear and entertaining, especially the audio version. I will say that the weakness is that it has not been updated in years so some of the advice in it around retirement accounts and taxes is out of date.

I found this guy to have a lot more common sense (in other words, able to recognize that different strategies are better for different people) than most finance books.

He does go a little wacko with the magic of compound interest thing. He never quite explains how to get the very high interest he uses in his examples.

Someone recently recommended this book in a comment on my blog and I have it on the list to check out. I consider myself fairly savvy, so I guess I won’t be picking this one up. That said, I have used books like these as gifts for younger folks and with great success. So far, I’ve probably given away The Millionaire Next Door 7 times and people love it.

Anyway, great blog you have here. I’ll be adding it to my daily reading list.
