Book Reviews of Start Late, Finish Rich: A No-Fail Plan for Achieving Financial Freedom at Any Age (Finish Rich Book Series)
Book Review: A program to help you get from where you are to a decent retirement
Summary: 5 Stars
David Bach is one of the more successful personal finance gurus who pumps out shelves of books, sells seats at seminars, and so on. He is a brand as much as he is an author. This book focuses on the financial requirements of those who realize they need to get ready for retirement, but they let the clock get too far ahead of them. They are like a batter who falls behind the pitcher, 0-2 and still want to get on base. This book provides a practical and good natured guide and how you can get to retirement somehow, someway, if you are willing to do what is necessary.
Bach presents his material in 23 chapters divided into five parts. He is very clear that Living Rich is more about quality of life than just having more money that you have to be miserable to acquire and never get to use in ways that have any personal meaning for you.
Part One focuses on why you need to start now and why freedom is more important than mere money. Part Two talks about how you can spend less. You know you have to, so why not give you your daily $5 latte and brew your own cup of Joe? He also provides a good system for paying off your credit cards and how to negotiate with your bank and credit card company to lower interest rates and penalties. He also provides sound warnings about those credit counseling companies. Basically, stay away from them. He does provide info on good financial counseling resources and how you can check on them.
Now that you have stopped the bleeding you can go on to Part Three and learn ways to Save More. Bach provides good methods to help you pay yourself first by automatically saving and explains why boring investments are much better than exciting ones when it comes to your financial future. Still, you ability to save is limited by your income, so Part Four helps you focus on a number of ways to make more at your job, at part time opportunities or side businesses that allow you to keep your job, but provide valuable supplementary income.
Part Five is about your quality of life and why your money is really about serving this purpose. Bach also explains why giving and blessing the lives of others is a great way to enhance the quality of your own life.
