Summary

"A gem from one of the most brilliant minds in personal finance." Ben Stein, author, actor, TV personality, and New York Times columnist"Investing, as it is said, is simple but it is not easy. Jonathan Clements's fine new Little Book underscores the priceless (and price-less) value of simplicity. And his sage advice on living the good life and on spending well and saving wisely will surely make it, if not easy, at least easier for us to achieve financial peace of mind." John C. Bogle, founder of Vanguard and author of Enough"Nobody, and I mean nobody, can make the world of investing as easy to understand as Jonathan Clements can. In this wonderful book, he teaches Main Street how to beat Wall Street at its own game-and how to have fun along the way. This book does not stop at merely making you richer and smarter; it will even help you lead a better life." Jason Zweig, author of Your Money and Your Brain and editor of Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor"Jonathan Clements is one of our wisest and finest writers in the field of personal finance. This Little Book contains gems of wisdom not only about investing, but also about living a full and satisfying life." Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street"Easy to read, easy to understan-and easy to put to work-this Little Book is a winner. I'm getting copies for our children-and their children, too." Charles D. Ellis, author of Winning the Loser's Game
