Why you should read The Rules of Money

The staggering number of lottery tickets sold each year indicates that millions of people want to be wealthy but aren’t necessarily willing to put in the required effort. Unless your lotto numbers come up or your father is a billionaire who hands you big bucks, instant prosperity is a fantasy. The road to riches actually is paved with hard work, long hours and a bit of luck. Moreover, says Richard Templar, wealthy people follow a basic set of principles that many other people tend to ignore. Templar’s witty, informative and briskly written book outlines 100 catchy (and somewhat duplicative) rules as a framework for offering financial guidance. His advice may not get you a dinner invitation to Warren Buffett’s house, but getAbstract believes it will help you understand what the rich do differently and how you can apply their rules for making money.
