The Finish Rich Dictionary: Book Review and Giveaway


The Finish Rich Dictionary

Time for another book review and giveaway. Today I’m featuring The Finish Rich Dictionary: 100 Financial Words You Need to Know by David Bach. You know David. He’s the author of The Automatic Millionaire. Which just happens to be my favorite personal finance related books.

What do the terms retrench, shadow price, and greenmail have in common? They’re all words you likely don’t know but should, and they’re in this dictionary.

I know what you’re thinking…if David Bach is such a successful writer, why has he turned to churning out dictionaries? Well, thankfully it’s not entirely a dictionary.

Throughout the book, David shares mini-chapters on basic personal finance topics, like “How to Buy a Home” and “The Top 10 Money Mistakes People Make“.  Each are solid, quick reads full of advice.

I can definitely see this book being a solid reference piece of my library for some time. I’m keeping my copy, but I have one copy to give away.

Win a Copy of The Finish Rich Dictionary

Leave a comment in the box below this post by March 6th to be entered into the giveaway. One entry per person and U.S. only please. I will randomly select a winner and announce it on the blog the weekend of March 7th. Good luck!

    I recently got married, and my husband and I are working hard to set ourselves up for financial success now, and for retirement. I’m sure this book would be a great resource!

    I can see how this would be a helpful resource. It can help to understand what these terms mean.

    I’m a huge fan of Bach’s books. I’m currently reading “Go Green, Live Rich”, which is an amazing book ahead of its time. With the cost of organic produce and hybrids, a lot of people think you can’t “get rich” by going green, but Bach dispels a lot of that by showing how you can both be green and save money.

    Those mini-chapters sound like really helpful stuff. I am of course drawn to the “How to buy a home” one because we’re in the middle of a house search.

    Anyway, I really enjoy reading your posts in my reader – keep up the great work!

    I would be very interested in this book… I have the 9-5 job, side business, house, but I still feel the need to constantly work the numbers and make sure ends meet. So far I’m just trying to figure it all out on my own so this book would be a great resource!
