Practical Living

I thought this book gave some really good practical advice. I listened to it twice.

Great ideas

I found this book to be useful and helpful. An old and fresh insight into life.

I loved it, I think it gives proper advice

This book does not discuss about how to actually make money BUT...

It discuss personal conduct about what to put more importance in life versus what not.

It directs you to become wealthy so you are free do what you like and enjoy life, and NOT enslave yourself to a job to finance the things you buy and don't use or buy to show off to someone else.

It discuss Time, Resources and Oportunity.

This philosphy is about making sure that you will become financial independent first, so you can enjoy life the rest of it, by doing what you love, and NOT spend your time at a job for someone else.

It gives you the priorities and gives you questions to make self reflection so you will know if your decision now is emotional or logical.

It gives you a standard set so you will know how to behave at social gathering, how to plan certain things.

It is a LIGHT read, the narration is very nice, I think this is an easy read.

Just to be grounded, from this book perspective, you are old money already, if you have an income from work you like or from investment, and you are free to do whatever you like so you can be a better person and advance yourself even if you can't buy a yacht or supercar or nice home. The concept is that you understand what is important in life, which is freedom,living.family,safety,proper education,travel. The idea of OLD money, is that you have enough money for the rest of yourlife and NOT that you have enough money to buy the whole world (consumerism).

You don't have to take everything from it, some of it, is wrong. But it is good in general.

A great book

This is a great book. I wish I read it 30 years ago. A must read.

witty & instructive

This clarified everything. Everything. Put your wonder at rest with this one. Take notes on this one.
