This is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read on personal finance, investing and just understanding the overall industry. I now understand why I need to do certain things and when. The advice is sound, easy to understand and I have personally found to be extremly successful. I will recommend this book to my business partners, family and friends. The college funding section was so eye opening, even though my children are past this need, I wish I would have read when they were younger it would have changed my planning. The retirement section was amazing and has changed my families life. Thank you, Thank you…a great resource and life changing book.

@Brip Blap – Unfortunately, I did the opposite. I chose to go to partially funded Ivy League and declined full scholarship to a state school. My GPA was hovering around 3.0. I was miserable and was not active in other activities because I was overwhelmed. Lastly, I graduated with debt and my performance was not good enough to get me into a medical school. That said, it was a complete opposite for my Master program and I graduated as one of the top students in my class with 4.0 GPA; and the degree was fully funded by scholarship from work.

@keeyit – welcome to Moolanomy and I am glad you liked the post.

I like the “20% school” idea. That’s more or less what I did in attending a state university, when I could’ve attended more “prestigious” private schools. I got good grades, was always at the top of my class, and I didn’t have to kill myself studying so I was heavily involved in athletics, social, academic and charitable activities. So based on that I’ll have to check this book out, since I agree with Wilder’s ideas in that area.
