As part of one of the largest investor networks I strongly recommend that all those who are novice to the world of investment and finance, they must read this book. One must read this book to know the basics of finance.
This is worth reading for non-finance people also.

Author's style of writing increases the interest on reading this book. Never expected like this before buying this book.

Amar Pandit's last book on how parents should teach their children to manage money has been a very useful book in our household (we live in a joint family). So much so that we often ended up quoting excerpts from the book. I was therefore excited to find out about this latest book of his and could not wait to lay my hands on it.

What you instantly notice is the writing style. It is conversational and he has made a good attempt to de-jargonize concepts. Quite unlike other books on the subject...

I found the book not only very thought provoking but also helpful in actually writing down my own financial goals which I found very easy to put down after seeing the examples given. I particularly liked the topic on asset allocation in the investments chapter and was happy to see someone finally write on philanthropy in legacy planning. Amar Pandit is an author who is able to explain complicated concepts of insurance and tax planning so easily to the layman so that we can take the correct s...

This is a very easy to read and accessible reference. The language is practical and simple, and there's good financial advice in this book. I'd recommend it for anyone who is starting their career and who has had a windfall, and wants to understand how to manage money well.

Things that could be better: Book's binding is sub-par and could be improved. Flipkart's delivery was ahead of time, but one corner of the book was slightly damaged despite the packaging. The packaging was probably fine,...

The writing is lucid. Many concepts have been shared openly with out any hesitation. Has been the first book I have seen in Financial Planning. One must keep this book in his/her book shelves. The coverage is complete in its tone and knowledge requirement.
For a banker like me, this book was informative on financial literacy. How? and from when to start planning for your own investments? What are the peculiarities of the various financial goals? How to analyse your own income source? These to...

This book is very well written - well articulated in simple language, well structured, and best of all it gives you easy to understand and follow quantifiable 'key takeaways' for gradually but surely bringing your personal finances to a very good shape. Don't trust the negative reviews, just follow this and take a firm first step towards a solid financial future.

gift this to your loved ones ! this gives a great insight to the role actual finance plays in our life ! it is one of the good ( best ) book i might have bought on financial literacy !

The book is written in very easy to understand language, and for people who don't have any idea what Financial Planning is all about. It very good to have such a book for a eyeopener to understand financial wisdom.

I found this book to be very informative. The concepts have been explained in a simple format which can be understood easily by a layman. A must for anyone who wants to create & maintain wealth. One can follow these rules & retire rich. Happy Reading & Investing..
