This book is a personal finance classic. Don't think that just because you're not a star athlete, celebrity, or trust fund baby you can't become wealthy... the vast majority of wealthy people are none of those types. In fact, being raised in a high-income, high-consumption lifestyle can lead to financial disaster later in life!

This is a small, concise book that is full of valuable information for any investor. It is based on the book A Random Walk Down Wall Street, which was originally written in 1973 and updated in newer editions. I would recommend this compact guide more highly than the original book itself; it gives you all the facts without so much scientific explanation.
