great book

David Bach does a great job of making becoming wealthy and converting basic finance principles in to easily understandable and manageable action steps. I must hurry for anybody serious about becoming financially free

Love this book

Great book with action steps and summary at the end of each chapter. I recommend this book to anyone looking for concrete steps to change your financial situation.

Great audiobook

I love everything about it. Is very easy to uunderstand. I'm already feeling rich 🤑👍

Sound advice, but...

This is a good book, with some solid ideas. The detail with which he explains his theories is both good and bad. For one thing, in the printed version, there are a lot of charts, so in the audiobook the narrator reads off all the repetitive stats from the charts in a very long, monotonous way. In the text version, you would just glance at the chart, get the gist, and move on...in the audiobook, you have to listen to it for over 5 minutes sometimes. A little annoying, because you get the concept after the first few examples, then have to listen to him drone on through the whole chart.

Also, a lot of the advice relates directly to Americans only. I am Canadian, and though I found the general theories sound, the specific advice (401k, etc) was not as helpful.

All in all, a worthy buy.

Perfect suggestions!

Perfect suggestions and recommendations. David Bach does it again. A must read for everyone. Cheers!

Overall a good book, good performance

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

I think it was a good audio but due to the numbers and analysis I found the two together to be a more learner friendly approach.

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

I found the portraits of the typical millionaire very interesting and compelling.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Michael Kramer?

Yes I would. I thought it was well done

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

The latte factor for one, just how little changes can make big differences over time

Any additional comments?

My only comment is in reference to directly reading the tables that show growth of investments over time, it's easy to see in the print version but doesn't translate well to audible presentation.

interesting, exciting, Made For Dummies,

imagine reading this book would have been cheesy. It turned out to be an eye-opener and giving refreshing comfort knowing that I have so many options and a few that I've already started while reading this book in order to start late and finish rich in my 30s

like all of his other books....a must read!

I feel there is so much hope again! Thank you for such a simple and effect process!

Life changing information!

I'm so thankful for this book, I just wish that I read it 10 yrs. ago, but now I am motivated to change my life and that of my 6 year old son.

Best personal finance tutorial book!

Very informative book. It covers every area of personal finance and teaches you details about how to save money and earn more money and much much more. I am buying a copy for each if my children.
