Reviews
Now more than ever, most people are looking to stretch their budget and make every dollar count. In these times where the economy is unstable at best and inflation runs rampant, it has become essential to reevaluate current living expenses, honestly explore standards, and plan for the expected costs in the future. But how are you to know how much is enough? Financial gurus and authors Arun Abey and Andrew Ford offer their aptly named book to answer that very question.
“How Much Is Enough? Making Financial Decisions That Create Wealth and Well-Being” is a well-rounded guide to short and long term financial planning. While asking the tough questions, they force their readers to take a good, hard look at the concept of ‘money’ – the psychology and resultant behaviors behind the power we give it – and why we may not be where we think we should be. Abey and Ford present some extremely profound information and I found the application to my own situation to be both surprising and eye-opening!
“How Much Is Enough?” will completely alter your view of ‘money’ and ‘wealth’ while informing you to what is possible with some effort. The authors utilize the examples of successful individuals such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs to create a foundation for their information while motivating the reader to think of more than just ‘income creation’. Instead, they promote a ‘give to receive’ approach – giving back to further global growth and heighten personal satisfaction. “How Much Is Enough?” provides a truly holistic method towards financial stability and ultimately, real happiness.
Normally when I review books, I ensure any recommends I give are directed to only those interested in the basic genre(s) it fits within; very rarely do I read a book I think everyone should read. But in this case, I cannot think of a person or group that shouldn’t read this book! We live in a society in constant need of more cash and more toys while never finding that feeling of satisfaction in attaining ‘success’; even lottery winners have not found the happiness they expected in their winnings. Authors Arun Abey and Andrew Ford help find balance, modify money attitudes, and alleviate the stress in future financial planning. By far, “How Much Is Enough? Making Financial Decisions That Create Wealth and Well-Being” is the most enlightening book I’ve read all year – an absolute must read!
