Upgrade to paid for me Sanuj! Great information here! I’m editing this, because clicked upgrade and usually my payment information is pre filled in, but this time it was blank. So I will have to upgrade it tomorrow when I can get out my credit card!

Wonderful book for people even in their fifties who are scared they’re not moving their money around to maximize return because CNBC Shouting Heads (notice how they shout a lot on CNBC) push the narrative to read the markets to maximize returns. This book let me rest easier about saving for retirement and that there is No way to confidently predict the market as a regular Joe. Have given it to my sons, not sure if they fully comprehend it even though their in they’re in their 20’s but push for them to just start saving some amount (preferably in a Roth IRA or 401k if available ) and regularly contribute to it. And with time they will start to see how their money follows what Housel states in the book.

Thanks for reminding me about this book. Now I have something to bug my kids about this week.

You're welcome Patrick. I would definitely recommend this book to my son when he grows older. The best gift parents can give their children is to share wisdom. And this book is a powerhouse of wisdom in the personal finance space.
