If you are cautious on your personal finance and don’t want to just listen to your financial advisor, the book might be good for you. It covers a lot of topics of personal finance. The second part is especially good. It talks about the financial issue at life time changes such as marriage, becoming parents, divorce, etc. Very solid information on tax issues. A lot of tips on tax saving.

I use this as a text at a university when we cover personal budgeting and finance issues during one week of class. I have used it since March 2006 in undergrad classes. Required reading includes Chapters 1, 18, and 26 along with pgs. 47-54 (Savings), pgs. 97-99 (Annuity), and pgs. 114-118 (Real Estate). Students read more of the book on their own and say this is a keeper they found to be invaluable!

Ernst and Young’s text is a compendium of fatherly financial advice. To most high income investors this book may just be a collection of previously sought advice that one attains by age 50. To the young up and coming professional it is a good source to review each year, especially chapters 3 thru 6. For the young and uninitiated part two should be considered information that requires additional professional advice.

No secret to wealth, you will be most satisfied with earning it the old fashioned way with hard work. The same is true of investing.
