What a pleasure it is to read someone like Edelman who is not only uniquely qualified to write on the subject of money but also writes in such a breezely easy to read style.

I just picked up this book after reading "What You Need to Do Now" and "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth" by Edelman. The previous books helped me more than anything to overcome the bad advice I got from reading other financial books.

Besides Ric's books, I also recommend "The Road to Wealth" and "The Laws of Money" by Suze Orman. I believe that Ric and Suze are the two best financial authors out there right now. Both are CFP's and Ric's firm is ranked among the top 5 firms in the country by Bloomberg. Obviously Edelman would not have this many clients if he didn't know what he was doing now would he?

This is a book for personal finance. But it only concentrate on 2 main topics - setting up goals and picking up mutual funds. On goal setting, it is one of a few books that give such an emphasis (and proportion) on this topic. It is important, critical, but somewhat over-long. (Imagine listing several pages of places/events that help you to pick up for your goal?) The good side is that the importance of goal setting is applicable is many other areas - not just personal finance. The second half of the book is about mutual funds, and there are some very interesting 'facts' - e.g. Morning Star ratings, index fund, tax benefit, etc. Since the author is quite humorous, it is a very easy read for the 300+ pages. One thing I only like is that some of the footnotes are totally pointless - they are there just for the sake of being funny?? Maybe Ric can consider 2 labelling of footnotes - one is useful and the other is only joke.
