Mark Cuban named this book in an interview

As one of his favorites. I think it’s worth the listen, I learned about probate and it’s impact.

Whatever You Want to Know is Probably Covered Here

The book is a nice guide through the maze of investing and particularly good at exposing problematic areas such as complex, but worthless investment schemes. I first read it in 1990 when I began investing and I am impressed with the expanded content in the current edition. Some sections, such as decreasing your lifestyle expenses, are tiresome and trivial, but the explanations of arcane strategies such as "put options", "covered calls" and "lifetime remainder trusts" are succinct, clear and very well done.

Like most references, the best way to use it is to read closely the areas you need and skim through the rest. Then when you come up with specific question like "what the hell is a zero coupon bond" you'll find a nice, understandable answer.

I thoroughly enjoyed having a lot of financial mumbo jumbo explained in a way I could comprehend.I'm I also agree with the author about not jeopardizing your financial future by hiring a predatory commission based advisory service.

When you reach our age (the author and I are exactly the same age,72) you have to realize that you are the only one who can assure your own future.

Read this book, keep it handy, and buy updated editions.

A lot of information.

This book covers any investment imaginable. Some of which blew my mind. A good listen overall, but a safe investment guide.

informative book

the narrator was very on point with his delivery. the book offered many options on how to invest wisely, as well as saving money on products you may already be buying, and how to look around to find good deals. very enjoyable, and worth listening to multiple times

Updated Edition Well Worth Buying--Great Advice

I have owned prior editions, so when I saw Andrew Tobias had an updated edition out I had to get it.
I am very glad I did, and I bet you will be too.
Much practical and timely advice.
Includes quite a bit that is new or updated.
Tobias has a great sense of humor.

Good advice, humor and relatable

I like the general investing advice. Seemed liked a funny person dry and sarcastic humor.
