I bought this book to help educate my significant other about the world of money and where they are going. After I cracked it open on a few different chapters, I realized that this book is pretty high level overview and restates common sense. It has very little detailed info on any of the topics and it reads almost as a 700 pages long “would be nice todo list” with almost no “how-to manual”.
You may use it as a reference which forces you to go online and research a topic there in more detail, but then what is the point of the 700 page book?
Added chapters about doing things like banking, financial planning etc online is another mentioning of what normal people already know, and probably wont help you much unless you lived in a cave for the past 15 years and completely missed out on the internet phenomenon.
I will return this book and look for something better on the topic.
