The other day I was rummaging through the Encinitas library book store and came across a book entitled “Start late, Finish Rich, a no fail plan for achieving financial freedom at any age” by David Bach. That wouldn’t typically catch my interest, but being that we are entering a new phase of our lives and are launching out as a family for the first time, I thought I’d check it out. Turns out it’s a great book with a lot of good, practical, realistic advice on staying out of debt, how to save for the future, ways to bring in extra income on the side so you can save for your future, and even amass wealth, along with a lot of good common sense counsel for how to be penny wise and how you can build a nest egg with any amount of income. It’s been a big help to Justin and me in guiding and shaping our financial goals and plans. Of course, our end goal isn’t “riches” per se, but having something saved up for the future is definitely on our list of goals. I highly recommend “Start Late, Finish Rich” as an encouragement that it is possible for anyone to start saving today in little ways and reap great results with time. David Bach also wrote a new book that I just ordered called “Start Over, Finish Rich” which has post recession updates. I haven’t read it yet, but I’ll let you know if it’s worth the read.
