Now that I've shared How to Have a Happy Retirement from the great retirement book You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think, it's time to look at the other side of the equation -- what makes people unhappy in retirement. The book shares a whole host of facts from a comprehensive survey they completed, some of which were mentioned last time (as a contrast to what happy retirees … [Read more...]
How to Have a Happy Retirement
A couple months ago an ESI Money reader sent me an email asking if I had ever read the book You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think. I said I hadn't but it looked interesting. A few days later I tracked down the publisher and asked to receive a review copy. They sent me one and I read it over two days while watching the NFL divisional playoff games (yes, I still … [Read more...]
Finances Simplified on a Napkin
Do you remember when I shared some excerpts from The Infographic Guide to Personal Finance: A Visual Reference for Everything You Need to Know? Basically they took financial topics and made them easy to understand by putting them in infographics! I loved how simple the book was, making it very accessible to people wanting to learn personal finance basics but who might be … [Read more...]
How to Create a Great Retirement
When we attended our first retirement planning seminar, the presenter recommended the book What Color Is Your Parachute? for Retirement as a great book to plan an awesome retirement. Obviously, I couldn't let a comment like that pass me by, so I got a copy and started to read. I'm so glad I did! Today I'll take you through the book's main messages and share some of my … [Read more...]
Why is Inflation the Single Biggest Retirement Threat?
My top-recommended retirement book is How Much Money Do I Need to Retire?. It's written by my friend, Todd Tresidder, who blogs at Financial Mentor, and it's simply excellent! In fact, it's good enough to make my list of the only five money books anyone needs to read as well as be one of the 12 books that can make you a financial expert in a year. The book was … [Read more...]
12 Books that Will Make You a Financial Expert in One Year
I've written New Year's resolution posts for almost 15 years now. I like the process of setting goals and then taking steps to achieve them (something I've used with great success throughout my life). The start of a new year is perfect for this sort of activity. But there are only so many possible angles when writing those types of posts...and apparently I've hit the max. … [Read more...]
Financial Thoughts from Robert Kiyosaki
As noted when I posted Why the Rich are Getting Richer, the book Why the Rich Are Getting Richer by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, contains a lot more than simply why the wealthy become even wealthier. As I read the book, I underlined key passages, many of which didn't fit into the first post. That's why I'm writing this post -- to share some of Kiyosaki's … [Read more...]
Rich Dad’s Ten Steps to Getting Started on the Path to Wealth
When I reviewed the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, I noted that the author, Robert Kiyosaki, listed "10 tips for getting started." I didn't cover the 10 steps in that review since it was too long the way it was, but today I'm going back to the book, sharing the 10 steps, and giving my thoughts on them. BTW, the 10 tips are designed to get anyone started on the path to acquiring … [Read more...]
Why the Rich are Getting Richer
Shortly after I wrote How the Rich Get Richer I started reading Why the Rich Are Getting Richer by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. The author says the following about both books: If Rich Dad Poor Dad was elementary school, this book (Why the Rich Are Getting Richer) is graduate school. That sounded good to me. I'm always up for a higher-level money … [Read more...]
The Money People in My Life that I’m Thankful For
In September I was invited to an early screening of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Back in the day when I was still working, I actually had some influence. So I was often invited to early screenings of movies and received books and music in advance of release as well. This was so I could help spread the word about the product and help it launch successfully. I'm … [Read more...]
