WEALTH VIRTUES
A Guide to acquire more money than you spend and to save more
money than you owe
Rating:  -
I'd thumbed through this book a couple times at the bookstore, but had always decided against it. I should have said that again when another Fool book "Rule Breakers, Rule Makers" came up as a ... bargain hardback book and succumbed to the whole in my wallet and got this book too. It's too condescending even for the investing novice, and the workbook part is scant and carries little value beyond the writing. Stick with "The Motley Fool Investment Guide" which has almost the same info, plus more.

If you have loved TMF website, you can certainly gain a lot from this book. Be prepared to face the music when you are filling out the workbook to figure out your networth! I was pleasantly surprised though.
This book is practical and every adult should read and work through it to figure out one's financial standing. The guys are straight forward and tell you like it is.
You can use it to figure out your budget, spendings, how much you can actually invest and how to pay off your high interest debts.
Talks about DRIPs and DSPs, mutual funds, index funds etc etc.
I recommend to all my friends who are thinking about investing in stock market but are buried in debt from their fancy car purchases!

I bought the Fool Investment Workbook before I bought the Investment guide. The workbook was so clear,concise and to the point that I couln't wait to read the page. I knew very little about investing before I bought the book, but now I feel very comfortable investing. Of course I still have a lot to learn but what a fantastic start by simply reading one book. Thanks David for saving me a lot of time and money in lousy investments.

After reading TMF Investors Guide, I decided to give the workbook a try. It was worth the look. It guides you through all of the techniques described in the Investors Guide. With pencil and calculator in hand, I went through the entire workbook and now really have a clear picture of my own financial situation and how "foolish" investing will work for me. This book helps to clear up some of the hazy concepts that you might read about in other Motley Fool publications (ie. Foolish 4 and other Dow techniques). I say this is a great book to go through after reading the Motley Fool Investors Guide. It contains the same irreverent humor and lively writng and really reinforces everything the Gardners teach.

You will definitely enjoy the humor and laid back style of these characters. I had the privilige of hearing them speak at a conference and they really do wear the hats and try to de-mystify all this investment stuff. I had more of a financial background that some of my co-investors in a newly formed investment club and this workbook was certainly a blessing to them. What's a p/e ratio well you can look anyone in the eye and give them the straight skinny after doing the exercise in this book. As a matter of fact you will come away with a few jokes to help others understand it's no big deal. So if you don't like your financial info dry then give it a try.
