I don&#8217;t care about being a millionaire. If I ever had that<br \/>\nmuch money, I would be finding ways to invest it into causes I feel burdened for<br \/>\n(i.e. education). I care nothing about having a bigger house (more to clean), and I care<br \/>\nnothing about fancier cars (more insurance). I care about making a difference in people&#8217;s<br \/>\nlives. Nevertheless, I bought David Bach&#8217;s book because I feel I need to learn more about<br \/>\nadult finances (IRAs, Investing, retirement funds). This is really a totally new way of thinking<br \/>\nfor me. I was never taught anything about finances in life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I hate math, so it really taxes my mind when people start throwing around<br \/>\nnumbers. Since finances are all about numbers and terms I have never paid much heed to<br \/>\nthis subject. This was a real undertaking to actually buy the book and see if he expounds on<br \/>\nhis Creative Live class. I am always looking for good teachers, so I purchased this book<br \/>\nas well as one of his past books.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t go beyond his class. How disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, he didn&#8217;t expound in his book enough to really matter in my mind. I did have those<br \/>\n10 pages of notes (see past blog post), so I had the good stuff already written down.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are a visual learner, get his class from Creative Live. If you like to read, and you are a<br \/>\nfinancial novice such as myself, you might enjoy his book. You can find it on Amazon or<br \/>\nat your local Library.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me first make a disclaimer.
