Reviews

[Shahab Y-achille]

It’s a good book , provides any reader with basic to more advanced financial literacy and provides it with a more structured step my step process. However , a lot of the reading is more aimed to the American compared to the Canadian investor. Overall , a good book to review

[Marc Page]

Excellent and balanced view of investing and markets and where they should fit in your overall financial life. Cleared up several misunderstandings I had of markets and certain instruments. I have made several course corrections based on this book, and have plans for future changes once certain milestones are reached.

[Chuck]

A simple, basic financial strategy thoroughly covered in layman's terms. This book is a follow-up, and a step beyond, Financial Fitness (hence the name). The strategy in Financial Fitness was to create a well balanced foundation that would support and grow your nest egg.

Beyond Financial Fitness starts to covered some of the medium levels of investing in less risky investments and why to stay away from fads and fancies in the marketplace. All in all it is a great book for those who do not have much experience (or bad experiences) at investing. The book is not meant to advise on investing but rather to educate the reader on what is available while cautioning against getting ahead or in too deep and losing your investment capital. Well worth reading after finishing Financial Fitness!
