Review of 'Cold hard truth on men, women & money' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
alot of preaching to the converted here. luckily, i've already followed a bulk of his advice - pay down consumer debt, lose your mortgage, buy used cars, don't lend money to family; give it. a couple of things were new: the money drain of a cottage (costs about 10K a year to maintain one), a dog (about 20k over the 15+ years of ownership), a pool (not only the inital cost, but another 10% to maintain it yearly). he makes a good case for selling your home and renting, as well as living in a walkable neighborhood and losing the car since it cost 8k yearly to maintain one once you factor in initial cost, gas, insurance, and repairs...
i liked his section about approaching university with value in mind and thinking of what you want to DO, rather than what you want to BE.
