I was quite amused by the title and hence the snap decision to buy this book for a good weekend reading, only to realise fools buy book of others without checking on the writer's credentials.(no offence to aspiring and new writers!!)
The books set in a story mode right from the start does remain in the story telling mode till the end. Nothing great about the book and the financial calculations. I am not a great sucker for math but if u torture data long enough, it can be made to say anything..so it is all crap call that if u cut ur expenses by x % then the way to financial freedom is y years away blah blah blah..
No one became a millionaire or a rich man so to speak by saving money, at least I havent seen one and even if one does get richer by that menthod then what is the use. I will have more pleasure in life by driving Santro with my family with zero bank balance at the age of 28 or 29 than driving(if I am physically fit enough) a Sonata at 58. No one cherishes and chases that kind of dreams anymore.
On the inspiring content this book scores a duck. In providing insights on how to start on your own and have peace and money in life , the book fails to deliver..any average user with a fair bit of IQ can figure out that writer is so short of content that he has used lots and loads of cartoons and sketches and a font that can enable the reader to keep the book on the bonnet and still read it from the backseat of the car.
The only person who has not worked hard for others and made a fool out of people buying into this book is the writer himself..I can merit him on that to say the least.
To sum it all..Dont buy this book, I recommend to borrow, beg or steal but dont be fool enough to make the wrier richer.
I emailed my views to the writer on his ascentavenues email id mentioned. The email id is not working..email bounced back. Need I say MOre?
