About this listen

 In The Little Book of Main Street Money, Clements brings us back to basics, with common sense suggestions for intelligent money management. Chock-full of financial guidance that will stand up in any market, the book also reflects a financial philosophy that Clements has developed over a lifetime of watching Wall Street and writing about money - and that is even more important in the current volatile market. From the big picture (home, retirement, financial happiness) to the micro (taxes, inflation, investment costs), he offers clear-cut advice for taking control of your financial life, detailing the strategies needed to thrive in today's tough economic times.

The 21 truths outlined throughout this book are a guiding light for everyone, young and old, whether starting out or soon retiring. Each chapter reads like a Clements column - clear, pithy, and feisty. From the obvious to the counterintuitive, the truths will bolster your returns, cut your costs, and give you financial peace of mind.

Collectively, the 21 truths show you how to think about your entire financial life-not just stocks and bonds, but your home, your debts, your financial promises to your children, your income-earning ability, and so much more. They will help you not only survive today's treacherous financial terrain, but also prepare you for success tomorrow.

Renowned for his spirited writing and shrewd investment guidance, Clements is the sane voice investors need to stay grounded in the midst of so much financial insanity.

outdated

my wife had to write a book report on this book for one of her classes. I decided to download the audio book version and listen to it so I can help her with her report as I have a background in finance. This book is not useful for somebody like myself or for somebody that has any type of background orders familiar with Finance or investing. If you are beginner looking for some introductory information this is a moderate place to start. Although it focuses highly around the American financial crisis of 2008 and is irrelevant in countries like mine Oh, Canada. Most of the terminology in the book is American Centric and does not easily translate into other countries.

Over all I can say I was a little underwhelmed. This book could have been much better but the author just doesn't hold up to other books that I have read dealing with Finance.
