This book was VERY intimidating and the kind of book that is hard to sit down and spend an hour reading. That being said, I think it is very informative and gained a wider depth of understanding for many business related topics. I am only 17 so a lot of these concepts were new to me and difficult to piece together, but luckily I knew a little from my economics class. Overall, I would most definitely go back to this book if I ever want to start a business or need financial advice! (2.5/5 bc it was painful to get through all this as it felt like a textbook)

Explains 5 levels of wealth -- from being able to retire, to being able to live off your investments, to being Bill Gates -- and how much you need to save to reach them. Great help for setting your target savings goals, not much info on how to actually pick a particular investment.

Even though I am not an idiot, I really enjoy the book. I keep referring to it time and again
