This is supposed to be a good book for people new to investing. I was never a person who had any exposure to investing or economics or advanced money principles growing up, so I approached this book really knowing mostly nothing. And truth be told, I didn't understand everything I read in this book. But I did learn from it, and picked up some good tips. Here is a summary of the three main points of this book:
1. Save a lot. Save as much as you can, even if you think you have nothing to save.
2. Don't think you can beat the market. You can't. It's all dumb luck. So invest in index funds.
3. Buy and hold. Even when the market is crazy.
