Publisher's Summary
This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things - mostly about money and investing - she was not yet quite ready to hear.
Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical.
"But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run.
Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms.
Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective.
The simple approach I created for her and present now to you is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other.
Together we'll explore:
- Debt: why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it
- The importance of having f-you money
- How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth
- Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works
- What the stock market really is and how it really works
- Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it
- How to invest in a raging bull or bear market
- Specific investments to implement these strategies
- The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age
- How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it
- How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA, and Roth accounts
- TRFs (target retirement funds), HSAs (health savings accounts), and RMDs (required minimum distributions)
- What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition
- Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all
- Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey
- The truth behind Social Security
- A case study on how this all can be implemented in real life
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Soon after he opened his vineyard for business many years ago, the Wealthy Gardener noticed a puzzling fact. Everyone wanted money, but only a few people managed to accumulate it. The reason, he realized, is that most people focus on short-term gains instead of achieving lasting wealth. As he grew old and aware of his dwindling time on this Earth, the Wealthy Gardener began to share his hard-earned wisdom with the financially troubled in his community, patiently mentoring those who asked for his practical advice on the ways of prosperity.

A must listen if you are an American
One of the best audible book i would say. Though the narrative is more centered for American readers, the principles outlined here can be applied for anyone thinking about retirement planning

Really good book for Americans
If you’re an American then this is definitely a good read. Others, don’t even bother reading this if you’re not ready to extrapolate based on what he says. He doesn’t even bother to give a brief idea of what a term is. It might be very basic to Americans, but for international readers, it might be a completely new term that they’ve never heard of. Unless you’re an international reader who is ready to google the meaning of a lot of US specific financial jargon, don’t even consider getting this book.

Basics of personal finance for USA only
one, talks only about basics. a good point to start understanding what all things you need to consider. unless you fall into this category and have basic ideas like 401k, income tax. you will be quite likely disappointed.
two, the author recommends only one vanguard index fund. which is ok unless you want to understand what all options available and if you are willing to take a bit more risk in hope to get better returns.
lastly, most of the content in the book applies to US only. Unless you are a US tax resident, you may not get any action able ideas.
