This is a great fundamental book explaining why some people get rich and others don't. I have made every mistake outlined in the book and now determined to improve my education so that I can improve my results. I highly recommend this book and now want my kids to read it.

I turned 40 a couple of years ago and found myself single for the first time in 15 years. I wish I had read this book when I first started dating again! Now two years later have learned a lot on my own but this book is helping me understand much more such as some simple red flags to look for if a man is really interested or not.  It's an easy read and makes me think about what I really want.

If you are between 40 and 55 this is a much needed read. I don't think I've ever laughed so much while reading any other book. The truth is you will laugh at what you relate to and there is a lot going on in perimenopause.

What I liked most about this book was the chapter after chapter of women's real-life experiences. This book has stuff I've never read anyplace else. It gives you a sense of what is to come if you have just begun to experience symptoms and gives information on what you are going through now. I felt like I'd been invited to a secret party where someone told me all the secrets to dealing with this stage of life. There are some things that could be embarrassing if you didn't expect them or know how to deal with them. Like for instance hot flashes can make your makeup run and you can look like you've been in a sauna. Who knew? For this they recommend waterproof makeup.

Some of the other issues this book deals with includes night sweats, daytime forgetfulness, sleep problems, nighttime food cravings, irregular periods and anxiety. What did interest me was the mentioning of "buzzing" in your head. I had no idea why that was happening to me. It is not that annoying but still.

After reading this book I can tell you that God definitely is not a woman. Men just don't go through all these dramatic life changes like women do.

So if you are perimenopausal and going through changes this is an excellent place to start. It gives you real ideas for how to deal with real changes. I'm so glad I read this and appreciated the humor.

I wish I could have read this book as a young person.  I would have saved myself from so many misunderstanding.  Great book and written so you can understand what other obfuscate.

This is a must read for people in their 20s and 30s, especially those who are married and have children.  Most people think Social Security and the company 401K will take care of their retirement.  A great many of those people believe if they start saving in their mid-30s they will accumulate enough wealth to retire comfortably.  This book reinforces the need to begin saving for retirement as soon as you begin working full-time because of the power of compounding and all of the various circumstances like Bar Mitzah's, weddings and other financially draining events.  It made me examine my own portfolio and strategy for future financial events.  It is a very easy to read and understand book and can be read in a day

I wish this book was available twenty years ago. Definitely worth a read. I've learned lots of what's in this book the hard way, but believe there is lots more that will be helpful.

I wish I had had this book when I was in my 20's. I honestly believe it would have changed my dating habits from day 1. I would recommend this book to everyone. As a matter of fact, I am about to send my brother a copy to read! I whole heartedly believe, that if taken seriously, this book could improve the health of relationships....even those that are married because it helps you to also understand your spouse better and why they may behave the way they do.

Thank you for such an intelligent, thought provoking and exciting read. I have enjoyed this immensely.

I wish this book were written when I was younger;  this is a wonderful collection of data, information, wisdom and advice.  I would strongly recommend it for any couple, especially before marraige, or even after.  The book discusses encompasses everything from "getting together....living together....and staying together."  It discusses everything from sex, religion, laundry, kids, the usual marital issues however it has compiled information and data and then the authors I think do a good job in giving advice based on their findings.  This book deserves a better title the "The Normal Bar,"  The book allows you to get in the mindset of the opposite sex to better understand what people are thinking inside their brain; the book can then be used by couples to enhance their communications.  I would say that it handles topics in such a way that could be difficult to handle any other way, even counseling.  The book is rich collection of narratives, quotes, tables with numbers, and advice.  I particularly like that the authors were willing to go out on a limb and give marital advice rather than just presenting the information, and attempt to apply the information and research that they did with real world suggestions.

I wish I had read this book years ago.  It would havve made my life sooo much better.  I spent too much time working, instead of loving my family.

I wish everyone in their mid-30's would read and heed this book.  Great advice, and I wish I had practiced more of these guidelines 30 years ago. But it's never too late to have a plan and work it.  This book will help you get started and keep you on track!

I am in my thirties and found this book helpful.  I found myself doing many of the mistakes mentioned in the book and it is refreshing to know I have identified them now rather than wait 30 years down the road. My background is finance and accounting; I am trained for a corporate perspective and not for family financial planning.  Robert and Jeremy's book helped frame my family's investment, retirement, and insurance needs and will shape my family's financial planning decision process in the future.

I have heard most of the myths discussed in the book but not all.  I believe all the contents of this book will be helpful, but the "myth section" will be especially helpful to people new to the world of finance.

I bought this book for my parents who are of retirement age and I will be giving this books to friends and relatives as gifts this year no matter what age they are.

If retirement planning scares you and "you bury your head in the sand" because it is overwhelming, do not fret.  Buy this book, read it and think about it and the knowledge you gain will calm you down and help you start planning for your future.

I really, honestly wish I had come across this book about 10 years ago. It would have prevented me from going through 10 extremely difficult years of ups and downs, never fully understanding why I was continuing to fail.  Bouncing from job to job, and dealing with a whole array of negative experiences.  Little did I know until reading this book, is that I was creating those conditions and experiences for myself.  This book opened my eyes like no book has ever done so before.  It's beautifully written, easy to understand, very easy to apply, and it's the kind of book that would change the state of affairs in this world if everyone HAD TO read it.

I can't say enough good about this book and the instant results it will bring.
