Book Reviews of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth: The 8 Secrets of How 5,000 Ordinary Americans Became Successful Investors--and How You Can Too

Book Review: Very useful book!
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is useful to help normal people realize how easy it is to start saving money. Even for those who have very little, or think that they have nothing to save at the end of the month, Edelman shows you little ways that you can save money, and end up with thousands at the end of the year in savings! The key rules are simple and common-sense it seems, but something that most people have a hard time applying (e.g. give up cable t.v. in this day and age?). It's all about choice - choose to save and be careful, and you'll be happy in the end! The book is accessible and the writer writes well. His appearance on the Oprah show to discuss the book and the golden rules to get wealthy, along with real people who have gotten wealthy from ordinary backgrounds, definitely was probably reassuring to many who thought that they could never get out of the bedt rut they may be in. If a retired schoolteacher can save up to a million dollars through smart thinking, smart shopping, and smart living, then perhaps there is hope for the rest of us born into the consumer-driven, brand-name, mtv culture! Think smart and start saving! This book is definitely recommended to all young people thinking of starting saving and not spending it all!
