## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book For Beginning Investors
*by M***E on December 29, 2013*

"Investing For The Rest Of Us" is an excellent introductory book for those who want to gain basic knowledge about retirement investing. This book explains the basics of index funds, why they're generally a good idea, the basics of portfolio allocation and balancing, the benefits of low turnover and low expenses, and provides an introduction into the psychological traps one can encounter in investing. This is all done short and sweet, in plain, conversational English, no finance MBA required.I'm a private investor and people have asked me what book I'd recommend to understand the basics of retirement investing. These people tend to stress that investing and financial planning is neither a personal strength nor an interest. It's difficult to find a book that teaches the basic concepts of retirement investing well without getting too technical or too directed toward individual stock valuation. David's book rides this line well, along the lines of "The Little Book" investing series.I'd recommend "Investing For The Rest Of Us" to those who want to take the next step in investing. The basic tenets in the book will likely set those who follow them up for better long term returns.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tortoise Not the Hare
*by A***L on December 28, 2013*

I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. Great, simple approach to investing for people who know little to nothing about investing and financial markets like myself and even those amateurs who think they know something about how to grow their money.After a lifetime of financial planners and hit and miss investments, this book showed me the way for future investing. It also helped explain why to this point my returns were so poor.This book does not pretend to be a strike it rich approach to investing, but rather a proven, consistent approach to realize good returns over the long term.This investment approach is the tortoise not the hare. You won't get rich quick, but that's okay because with all my investments in the past 30 years, that never happened.I recommend this book for any investor who like me, has no time or inclination to closely follow the markets.Easy to follow. easy to understand, easy to implement. The younger you are, the more important it is that you read this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... think "Investing For The Rest Of Us" is a great entry level book for a new investor
*by F***E on October 16, 2015*

I think "Investing For The Rest Of Us" is a great entry level book for a new investor. It is written on a level that everyone should be able to understand. I think passive index investing is where all new investors should start and this book is a way to do just that and I give it only 4 Stars because there is no 4.5 star vote. I rarely give out 5 stars, so it should not reflect on this author. My only 1/2 star quibble is it maybe over emphasized the amount of bonds a new investor needs. I am more in the Paul Merriman camp that believes the young investor just starting out probably doesn't need any bonds in his/her portfolio. Along the same lines I believe that small-cap value should have a place in your portfolio, so my favorite portfolio of the author's selection would be the Coffeehouse Portfolio.Thanks for a great book - I am adding it to my list of good investing books for the beginner.Dave
