This book is amazing!!!

I love the simplicity and I'm motivated to teach my children all the simplicity layer in this book.... Thanks Charlie.

questions i should consider

another experienced opinion about dividends and other investments to be aware of. I will proceed slowly.

Don't waste your time

I'm confused---the author repeats the same message he's been saying for years. Nothing new here. Buy index funds.
