Makes you a better person

Tells you those little things that will allow you to have a better now and a great future. I immediately did three things in the book that prior to listening to it sounded insurmountable, after listening, couldn't figure out why I didn't do it years earlier. I bought an investment building, with no real impact on my life, with little risk, with equity I didn't give consideration to in the past. It's three months later and everything is working as expected. Easy to listen to.

Good info

I enjoyed this book more in the beginning, the longer I listened the less attention span I could keep with it. Be prepared to fast forward to long drawn out lists being read

Good Instruction!

This was a great financial instruction book! Like most financial books, it had all of the general themes on how to accumulate wealth, where it is different was, it gave very detailed steps to make it happen!

Poor Choice of Narrator for the Material

Financial books are hard enough to get through for the average person. I loved the Latte Factor, so I bought some of the author’s other books, including this one. The narrator was very dry, thus making listening to the book seem like work. Not quite nails on a chalkboard, but close. You need to engage the audience for them to get anything from the material.

They should teach everyone this in 8th grade

Would you consider the audio edition of Start Late, Finish Rich to be better than the print version?

I have both versions. The audio to get through the book because I'm in my car so much, and the book to review and practice the principals and put it into ACTION

What was one of the most memorable moments of Start Late, Finish Rich?

That it's no too late. Saving just $100 a week and putting into an interest bearing investment account can lead to financial independence and finishing Rich,

Which scene was your favorite?

Saving, investing, Latte Factor, owning Real Estate

What did you learn from Start Late, Finish Rich that you would use in your daily life?

That it takes more than just increasing your income. YOU HAVE TO SPEND LESS.

Any additional comments?

I've given 2 copies to young friends, and I'm working on my kids 9slow and steady) :)

A great book for anyone who wants to retire!

David is able to covey the idea of saving for retirement in a way anyone can understand. I whole heartedly believe that if you follow these ideas you can achieve your dream of retiring one day.
