★★★★☆
Good principles but tough to put into practice

I think the principles are sound, but, be careful when you try to follow them. Some glaring points to highlight. (1) For depreciation, there is no mention of the gross income limits. When your gross income goes above 100k, depreciation starts phasing out until 150k when it becomes zero. This basically means that if…

Nonsense

The book in less than one paragraph: The author's repetitive argument is that the tax code, and everything else the government does for that matter, is written and done specifically to encourage specific behavior with the result of a better society. So no need to go to confession for avoiding taxes, after all that's…

quitting caffeine helped me with insomnia

I'm so glad I bought and read this book. I've been struggling with insomnia for years. I've been wanting to cut back on the prescription sleeping medication I've been taking. I didn't think caffeine contributed to my insomnia because, since I had caffeine in the morning, I thought it would be out of my body by…

I have found this book extremely enlightening. I love how clear the charts are and how clear the author is at explaining the topic. This topic felt so out of my reach but this book actually allowed me to understand. He writes in a way that doesn't make you feel like you belong at the middle school reading level. It…

This book is just the right thing to get you in a heap of trouble.

But if not, watch out. One good 2008-like crisis and…

Even at 67, I Can Benefit Too!

I wasn’t sure how I was ever going to retire, even after doing everything my CPA and financial advisor told me for 27 years. I paid off my home, funded my Roth IRA for the past 12 years, and contributed to my retirement account to get the company match. I thought I was on the right track. But no matter how much I…

Shaky advice for ordinary investors.

Page 6 indicates the author doesn’t appreciate book reviews from smart people. He implies they “already know everything”. This told me that the book is intended for a gullible, financially unsophisticated audience. I don’t already know everything, but I can detect a thinly veiled con when I see one. Beginning on…

Well-intentioned but possibly harmful advice...

I bought the Kindle version of this book hoping to find a way to help a dear friend who is an alcoholic. Ironically, its approach may have taught me the very truth it disavows: that detachment is the healthiest path toward allowing the drinker to experience the consequences of her actions and allowing the non-drinker…

Don’t expect much from this book.

I didn’t learn much from this book, but it was still thumbing through for some basic info available anywhere. All this info can be found on chat GPT.

I've been needing a book like this for some time.

The problem is, despite how huge this book is, you've still got to figure out your entire financial…

Not enough details to be useful

The author claims how to reduce your taxes but never gives you an actual system to execute. All that it provides is a glance through 100s of tips that without the system are useless. CPAs might benefit from it but not not for anyone else. Ah and to the author, please make peace with the IRS. You are wasting 62 pages…

A lot of words, little substance

For a short book, it says very little and offers incredibly useless advice (if any) that it only divulges after a whole diatribe. It’s very heterosexual male focused which makes it a difficult read for LGBT readers or women and it even edges on transphobic.
