Summary: Ric's Forever Poor Job Rule
Comment: Boy am I relieved. I can now keep my $5/hour job and retire rich because of my 401(k) plan! As if his last book wasn't rubbish, in this one, Edelman actually recommends not improving your employment situation simply because you might be prevented from investing in a retirement plan for a short period of time. No thanks. I've already invested in 6 years of college and I make 4 times what I did before. I'll make up that loss in a few years and have a nice lifestyle in the process. Besides, he assumes that those who change jobs don't invest in other investments.
Making poor assumptions and failing to consider the complete picture, Edelman once again confuses what should be clear in the world of financial planning. Written on his three-week-at-the-beach vacation, this book is worth just about what you'd expect from so little thought and preparation.
Abraham Lincoln once said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." I'll let it go at that.
Some of the better books out there are: "Making the Most of Your Money" by Jane Bryant Quinn, "Die Broke: A Radical 4-Part Personal Finance Plan" by Pollan and Levine, "The Millionaire Next Door" by Stanley and Danko, and "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Malkiel. Those should keep you busy for a while.

Summary: Huh what?
Comment: I found a review supposedly by a school teacher from Florida complaining about middle income brackets of $54,000. He goes on to to say that he won't see that in 35 years.
I work for a school system in Pennsylvania and I don't know how I'd live on only $54,000/per year. I also know people in Florida who are making 6 figure incomes. One guy I know made over $50,000 last month.
Don't blame your profession, your location or Ric Eedelman. Blame the guy you see when you look in the mirror!

Summary: Edelman is a controversial guy
Comment: No doubt that Edelman is a very controversial guy--just check out these reviews. However, Edelman is also very knowledgeable and very accurate. He accurately called the Index Fund fallout as early as 1998. HE WAS WIDELY CRITICIZED FOR THAT. But as someone who listened to him, I am glad he was so perceptive!Likewise, Edelman suggests to carry a mortgage vs having a paid off mortgage and invest the difference. As another astute reviewer commented, this is a lot like the old term vs cash value life insurance debate. Which is better?Cash value is generally the better value for the insurance salesman. Likewise, a paid off mortgage is not doing you any good because it is a liability and provides no income. Better to put that extra mortgage moneyin good investments that can grow 20%-25% per year.Edelman may be controversial but his advice is right on.
