I listen to this book all the time. It covers a few basic items, such as saving a portion of your earnings, not less than 1/10th. Doing the math, the "magic" happens somewhere around saving 24% of your income. You should save a percentage, not an amount so as your income grows, so do your savings. Most people just suck at math, I mean if you work from 20~55 years of age, that's 35 years. If you then need to live until you are 90, that's also 35 years. So you basically need to save the same as you earn right now! But you have the advantage of time, and so you can make your money grow. Rule of 72 says divide 72 by the percentage you are getting to see how long before it doubles. So if you are making 6% a year, it will take you 12 years to double that... If you do the math, and say you start working at 19 and retire at 55, and you are getting 6% ROI, then you can get 8x your money in 36 years. This book is a great starter for people who are clueless about money.
It is told in parables, and very easy reading. I recommend getting the audiobook like I have, and listening to it over and over again.. Remember, repetition is the teacher of teachers. If you don't have this book in your library, you don't really have a worthwhile library.
Jim Rohn was the first to recommend this book to me, and I have to say a big thank you to him. Jim is the MAN.
