Book Snowflake-The Road to Wealth

Up next in the Book Snowflake is Suze Orman’s  The Road to Wealth, Revised Edition.

This is a mammoth brick of a book in comparison to Suze’s other books, but it’s well-worth the effort. It’s billed as “America’s Most Popular Comprehensve Guide to Your Money”, and I must say it is pretty danged comprehensive. There are sections on pretty much every personal financial category you can think of. It’s written as a question & answer session, so that if you want to know “What if one month I go over my credit limit by accident?” flip to the Managing Debt second, and take a look at the answer. If you want to know “how much should I spend on a funeral?”, flip to the Financial Intimacy section and read the answer. It’s very easy to read and has a lot of good information for readers. It’s not for the faint of heart of course, since it is over 575 pages, but it’s definitely a good read.

Again, it’s US-centric so there’s a lot of information that doesn’t apply to me, but it had me thinking about a lot of things I might not have thought about in a while, like “as a single woman, do I need a will?” and “as a mid-30s woman, should I revist my retirement investment goals this year?” And so much more. I actually even took notes this time around!

If you’ve never thought about your personal finances, or your family’s personal finances, I’d recommend getting this book and reading it all the way through. You’ll find something in there that speaks to you directly, and spurs you to action. Enjoy!
