This book was not written for people like myself. The tone is casual and cordial, but full of lots of padding and humble bragging about all the wealthy people used as case studies. I don't have a portfolio, I don't own property, I don't have "wealth" or investments. This book mostly sounds like a sales pitch for why it's such a great idea to go to a money manager like Berkshire Hathaway but there's not much practical advice. "Come from a working class family and support your mother by paying her utility bills? You should probably pay her rent in advance and kill yourself."
It's a puff piece without any real advice or guidance. Won't recommend to friends/family.

Play nice - don't say things here that you wouldn't say to me or any other complete stranger in person. That doesn't mean you can't express a different opinion or experience but do it in a civil and respectful way.
Links to cute cat and garden pictures highly appreciated as are donations of homemade vegan sweets.
NO SEO spam or link building every time I mention "cinnamon." I will delete those comments.
