"A gem from one of the most brilliant minds in personal
finance."
-Ben Stein, author, actor, TV personality and
New York Times columnist
"Investing, as it is said, is simple but it is not easy.
Jonathan Clements'' fine new Little Book underscores the priceless
(and price-less) value of simplicity. And his sage advice on living
the good life and on spending well and saving wisely will surely
make it, if not easy, at least easier for us to achieve financial
peace of mind."
-John C. Bogle, founder of Vanguard and author of
Enough
"Nobody, and I mean nobody, can make the world of investing as
easy to understand as Jonathan Clements can. In this wonderful
book, he teaches Main Street how to beat Wall Street at its own
game-and how to have fun along the way. This book does not stop at
merely making you richer and smarter; it will even help you lead a
better life."
-Jason Zweig, author, Your Money and Your
Brain, and Editor of Benjamin Graham''s The Intelligent
Investor
"Jonathan Clements is one of our wisest and finest writers in
the field of personal finance. This Little Book contains gems of
wisdom not only about investing, but also about living a full and
satisfying life."
-Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk
Down Wall Street
"Easy to read, easy to understand - and easy to put to work -
this little book is a winner. I''m getting copies for our children
- and their children too."
-Charles D. Ellis, author, Winning the
Loser''s Game
"Jonathan Clements is one of those rare financial writers who is
thought-provoking, sensible, informed, and insightful. This new
book is his best yet!"
-Eric Tyson, author of Personal Finance For
Dummies
"Personal finance books are a dime a dozen, but this one is a
gold mine. Jonathan Clements has taken his must-read Wall Street
Journal columns and distilled them into the simple truths that help
real people make real money."
-Consuelo Mack, anchor, Consuelo Mack

"Jonathan Clements is one of the best personal finance writers
of our time. He has crafted a pithy primer to help us navigate
stormy seas. Those who care about their happiness, ignore it at
their own peril."
-Terry Burnham, Ph.D., author of Mean Markets
and Lizard Brains
"There are very few journalists who actually have investor's
interests at heart. Those that do write about what might be called
the science of investing, or evidence-based investing. The rest
write about the noise . . . Clements was not only one of the few
that truly had investor interests at heart, but he was one of the
best of the group (if not the best). I considered his weekly column
a must read. The same could be said of this little book. It's only
little in size. It's giant in terms of the number of pearls of
wisdom that it contains; pearls not limited to investing, but
finance in general and life as well. I highly recommend this book
especially for those just beginning their financial journey - it's
a journey you shouldn't take without this book as a guide.""
