“When I was finally able to save a little extra money and wanted to know what to do — how to prepare for retirement, how to learn about investments — I thought I’d pick this up. [Before that] I’d watched a lot of Suze Orman, which had terrified me: ‘You have $2.5 million. You cannot retire until the age of 75.’ I’d see that and think ‘Oh my God!’ This book is airtight and has a lovely way of writing. The first chapter especially is just really hopeful! It’s like, ‘calm down.’ It’s great.”↗
