A very nice personal finance book. Especially for USA citizens. Goes deep into every aspect of personal finance. Full of useful data and insights. Easy to grasp and understand. Hits upon myths which are prevelent in the society. A very useful guide to young people who have to deal with uncertainty of current economy. New knowledge for current financial ecosystem. A very nice book indeed.

This book was really helpful giving advice on how and why to save and what to invest in. I have an issue with overspending so I definitely appreciated the insight and will likely use it in the future.

I got an ARC of the book as a disclaimer and enjoyed it a lot. This is not a typical book focused on investment and portfolio diversification (although it does) because this book brought to me a bit of life philosophy. The good mix of philosophical approach to money, bring and feeling rich and investment ideas with some personal touch make this book different. It can be treated in different ways to whether you are looking to see easy to comprehend long term investment options or to find ways how to manage money and enjoy your life.

I recognised the author's name from social media. The book has lots of graphs which make the points on financials very clear. Especially the ones with different percent of inflation slashing the money value to half in a certain number of years. There are many many graphs with lots of valuable data. very accessible book with some personal experiences weaved in.

Save money and build your wealth
By Jack | May 6, 2022 | Book Review

A finance book that does a great job for the young as well as the old. I am a bit on the older side of the age spectrum (RetiredGuy) and so I paid bit more attention to the Investing part. But there is also a good part on Saving for the younger adults.

The full title is Just Keep Buying: Proven ways to save money and build your wealth. The author is Nick Maggiulli, data scientist, Chief Operating Officer at Ritholtz Wealth Management, and popular financial blogger focusing on personal finance using data analysis.

The bulk of the book is divided in 2 sections: Saving (mostly for younger folks accumulated saving based on work) and Investing (focusing on those who have already accumulated assets). Of course there are those who belong in both groups.

Often financial advice seems rather rigid. One rule for everyone, But life is more complicated and someone may be in a situation where the standard advice is unhelpful or even detrimental. This is a guide that takes this into account and cites evidence and educates, so the individuals can decide on the best decisions for them.

The author able to integrate evidence and personal stories to teach about balancing saving, spending, earning, and investing. I think this is an excellent book both for those trying to start building wealth and those of us further along in that process.
