The Wealthy Barber


Title: The Wealthy Barber


Author: David Chilton


Length: 197 pages


Brief Description (back of the book):
In this engaging tale set in hometown, Canada, our financial hero - Roy, the wealthy barber - combines simple concepts, common sense, and an insight into human nature to shape the shaggy financial affairs of Dave, Sue, Tom, and Cathy. He does it not by hectoring them about budgeting but by giving them a set of practical, easy to implement guidelines.


Why I recommend this book:
Chilton provides a non-technical, down-to-earth guide towards investing your money. You don't need to be a financial wizard to appreciate the strategies he discusses in this book, and at a point in life where many of us are starting to look towards a career and other future ambitions, this book provides some valuable insight into making wise investment decisions. For anyone looking for some basic advice on financial planning, this is a light, easy to get through read. And if Chilton is right, if we start investing early enough, we could all be millionaires in our fifties!
