The Index Card: Why Personal Finance Doesn't Have… door Helaine Olen
I’m hitting the fascinated part of this money research journey in that I’m having a difficult time comprehending why there are so many money books out there when the majority all say the same stuff with a few tweaks. This was written forever ago in today terms yet has good clarifying info that’s been presented in everything else I’ve been reading this year. It must be the tweaks and the social media getting all the new slew of books on the market too.
read this bc of the you can't win podcast
Decent read on personal finance. A lot of it definitely is a scam and the overall points made about how we should focus more on social safety nets rather than individual responsibility is very true.
I think the main issue with this book is that it feels like since it was published in 2012, discourse online has just accelerated. no one cares that the personal finance industry is disingenuous, it's all guillotine talk. this would be a good book for boomers who still believe in pulling bootstraps… (meer)

Personal financial advice that is simple, direct and uncomplicated. Nobody would go wrong by following the 10 simple rules that will fit on an index card. Not a get rich quick scheme here, though they do point out that those don't often work and more often backfire and lead to loss instead of gain.
I only took exception to one of the ten points. Rule #4 Never buy or sell individual stocks. There are good reasons to include individual stocks in a personal portfolio. Unlike mutual funds individual stocks do not have a mutual fund company taking their fee and many stocks can be purchased without a brokers fee. But that is from another book.
If you are not sure how to manage your long term financial goals please read this little book, or at least read the ten points on the index card.… (meer)

I am going to add this to my list of NF I recommend to people. Pre-library days, I briefly worked in various parts of the financial services industries and the story that Olen tells rings true with me. Read this as the first step in learning how to manage your financial life.
