PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The seventh book in seven years of the Finish Rich series (two million in print) is aimed at older readers who have neglected their savings. It reads like an infomercial script, brassily positive and unrelentingly motivational. Anyone can finish rich, says Bach (Automatic Millionaire, etc.), if they are willing to "spend less, save more, and make more." The bulk of the book describes a variety of tactics and strategies (many covered in his previous books) for accomplishing these three tasks. Readers of financial help books will have heard many of Bach's ideas before, but he does deliver a lion's share of solid advice in an entertaining format, and, for good measure, he throws in an occasional counterintuitive gem, such as why paying off credit card debt can be "a huge mistake." He also anticipates and overcomes common objections ("dealing with debt doesn't mean putting the rest of your life on hold"), although anyone impolite enough to push back too hard is dismissed: "I have a term for negative people who seem to enjoy raining on other people's parades. I call them 'dream stealers,' and I try to avoid them."
Customer Reviews
Knowledge meets Practical Action.
My mentor recommended me this book; and while it would be easy to be skeptical of a book nearly 20 years old as being outdated for the nature of today I found this book to be an incredible source of practical knowledge that would enhance anyone’s financial literacy, giving them the action plan to execute on this knowledge to create a better life. It takes all the mumbo jumbo that often makes financial books dry, dense or difficult to understand, using simply language, personal anecdotes and examples to illustrate the concepts. It isn’t hard to see why this book is still being recommended 20 years later.
