From Ramen to Riches: Building Wealth in Your 20s: Or Spending, Saving, Investing and Managing Your Money to Get Rich Slowly, but Surely
“You mean to tell me you’ve been employed as a software engineer for five years and your net worth is 0?” These are not the words you want to hear from your mortgage banker when you’re looking to borrow a large sum of money. Despite a well-paying job, the author had managed to spend everything he had earned in the five years after college. The meeting with the mortgage officer was his financial epiphany. He finally got serious about managing and investing his money. Now in his early 50s, the

Nothing new, no real explanation into the industry,
There’s a million books about real estate investing and this one is less than average. It’s very self indulgent on the authors part. It read like a bait for school drop outs to forget education and start making millions with real estate. As the adage goes, “it takes money to make money” and the author never even indulged us with the path he chose to get started. Save your time and find an author that truly gives the real story.

|Fantastic guide,
This is a great guide for anyone who is looking to learn about investing in real estate. It goes into great detail about what to look for, what to avoid, and a hundred other things you have to keep in mind when you are investing in real estate. The amount of detail in here is just mind blowing. It is a pretty long guide, and when you consider that there is no fluff at all it should help you to get an idea of how much is actually in here.
I would highly recommend this book to anybody interested in real estate investing.

|Add this to your real estate library,
I thought this was a great and simple book, especially since the Author did his best to discuss what he is encountering in 2012, so it was great to see the process, updated to prove that the system he uses, is still working even in a challenging economic year.

|Ramen no more!,
As someone who ate a lot of ramen in his 20s and 30s (while reading lots of money management and personal finance books and not applying what they suggested), I can say from personal experience that Jim Wood’s book captures and effectively conveys what young people need to know about building wealth.
Wood combines solid, time-tested advice with an engaging style and personal anecdotes in an easy-to-read book. With the US economy stuck in the doldrums, the sooner anyone applies Wood’s suggestions the better. Particularly useful are Wood’s many ideas about how to find and use money that leaks out of pockets or is already lost in the couch. Few of them imply any significant lifestyle changes but all add up to big bucks over time. It’s the kind of trade-off that everyone can afford. Wood’s formula really boils down to “add a little discipline and watch your piggy bank fatten up.” “From Ramen to Riches” would have been a lot more useful to me when I was in business school than most of the over-written, over-priced text books we were required to read.

|Everyone needs to read this book,
I was skeptical that I would learn much from this book. I have a degree in economics and an MBA. I have invested conservatively over my lifetime and expected no surprises. Boy was I surprised.
There are three reasons to buy this book.
1. It is very readable. Because it is plain-written, non-financial readers will find this a very easy read. No big words or formulas, just straight talk.
2. The breadth of the topic. Woods gives you “The Big Picture” and then does a marvelous job of drilling down to how to buy a car, a house, invest, and manage your finances including credit cards.
3. Clarity of explanations. He provides powerful models that help you understand the concepts and the power of your decisions.
Finally, this book is not just for those of us who have money to invest – it is really for everyone including folks on a very small income trying to stretch every penny.

|A tasty dish of well-seasoned advice…,
Saving $10 — good. Spending $9.95 to buy this book — better! As a senior banking officer, I have a pretty good concept of most things financial. However, when talking to young people about personal finance, including the two growing up in my house, I find myself either… A. At a loss for words, or, B. Putting out way too many words, and quickly losing my audience. Wood’s book is genius. Complex concepts are made remarkably simple; the valuable lessons are cloaked in enough humor that they don’t go down like lessons at all. Our family’s gift closet is stocked with this book. Every high school and college graduate we care about will receive Wood’s book. From Ramen to Riches is going to put a lot of people on the path to bright financial futures.
