Goal Based Investing: Some reviews…found on Amazon…
- Already follower of Pattu and Subra’s forum. Ordered 4 more copies to give gift to my friends and eagerly waiting to read
- [Note: I won this book in GoodReads Giveaway and this is my honest review of the book]
The book gives a good insight into “money” part of our life. we earn and we spend and we save/invest as well. of late, spending habits in India has changed significantly and people do not think twice before spending. I find this true , especially, for the current generation who are in their twenties and do not take savings seriously.
The book starts with a little bit of calculations from you and author wants you to check where you stand financially and then slowly and slowly exhorts you to identify the points in you life which are hurting you financially and tries to convert you to become , if you are already not, a habitual money saver. He also pushes you to identify your unnecessary spendings through maintaining the account of your spending or rejecting the new products that you do not need and so on. I found the explanation in the book simple enough to understand. the author also talks about the mutual funds , insurances and how to build a good portfolio. The author has also listed some calculators at goalbasedinvesting. in which can be used to calculate how much you need to save for various goals you may have in life. This is a very good book to understand the basics of investment and talks about various tools available in the market to do it. (Jitendra).
- If you want a book that’s unbiased and that will hold your hand and walk you through the personal finance jungle, then buy this.. the best thing 300 bucks could buy you.. glad that the book is available in hardcover so that you could preserve this and keep checking your progress for years to come… Remember, this isn’t a book that is written in complex financial terms but in common man terms and easily understandable flow….

on 20 January 2017Market is flooded with ‘tips and tricks’ on Personal Finance so much so that the information overload and conflicting advice acts as an impediment to taking real action. In this book, i found simple and actionable strategies which can be put to work immediately! Highly recommended.
