* a very apropos cartoon from http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts
Wa wa wa waaaa. I love Gail. I devoured her Debt-Free Forever book, implemented her suggestions and have since changed my life immensely (2 credit cards paid off with just my line of credit to go, and all that in only 6 months!!). So as I got to thinking about saving for retirement and will I have enough, I decided to read her latest book, Never Too Late: Take Control of Your Retirement and Your Future. Now, I’m no math whiz but I do feel confident that I understand investments enough to choose wisely for myself, but as I read Gail’s book, I started to hear the teacher from the Peanuts cartoon in my head: wa wa wa wa waaaaa. Now perhaps it’s just that I’ve been ill lately and unable to grasp all of Gail’s knowledge, but I really struggled to get through this book and came out the end feeling like I didn’t know nothin’ about money and investing. So the confidence boost I was hoping to get, and the tips on improving my portfolio I was hoping to take from the book fizzled quickly. Gail was just too technical for me.
If you read the book and make better sense of it than I did, please enlighten me. Or perhaps I’ll tackle it again later this summer when I’m back in fighting form.
Till next time, happy reading!
