Customer Reviews

What you always wanted to know....

Most "financial planning" books are dreadful. They all preach the same old stuff... scrimp and save, live an aweful life of miserly worry, chained to a budget. Finally somebody got it RIGHT. Joseph Simpson's book is LIBERATING. It shows you how and why most of what the so called experts have been preaching is just not true and just not realistic. Take, for example credit cards. If you read just about every financial advisor from Suze on, you hear "credit cards are evil...." That's just not true. Simpson shows you how to use credit cards as a financial weapon in managing your money. Good Deal. Finally makes sense. When it comes to budgets, something I abhor, Simpson says simply, "burn it!" ALL RIGHT! It feels liberating to hear a CPA tell you that all that budgeting stuff was really unnecessary. No more obsessing over what happened to that [$$$]I had in my purse. When it comes to planning for retirement, I was a wreck. All I heard was that if I didn't put away most of my income, I would be a bag lady. OK, so what am I supposed to live on NOW? Simpson's book shows me why most of what I was being preached was a bunch of bull designed to help some "financial planner" sell me investments. No more guilt. A Clear View is what Simpson gave me. Relief, oh what a relief there was.This book should be required reading for anyone before they get in the clutches of some "financial planner." To begin with, you'll understand what they are up to, see when the sales pitch kicks in, and know exactly what is truth and what is hype.This book is unlike any other I have ever read. Thank you Joseph Simpson. You have made my life a whole lot less stressful, and you have helped me see clearly that the future isn't doom and gloom, but full of promise and excitement.
