The Wealthy Barber Returns

The Wealthy Barber Returns is on shelves now! Heres the books Introduction to whet your appetite. I hope you enjoy the book! Please stay in touch with any questions and comments. Until recently, I believed I would never write another personal-finance book. Luck played such a huge role in The Wealthy Barbers success that I didnt want to tempt fate.... So what changed my mind? After watching Canadians savings rates plunge, debt levels skyrocket and investment returns consistently disappoint over the last decade, I was pulling my hair out. I wondered, How can I help? Im hopeful that The Wealthy Barber Returns will answer that question. Although it doesnt use its predecessors novel format (yes, thats a generous use of the word novel), this, too, is an unusual financial-planning book. There are no checklists, no graphs and almost no charts. Heck, theres hardly any math. Essentially, its just me chatting casually about the world of money. Its almost as though Im in your living room except better because, well, Im not. Ill admit that The Wealthy Barber Returns is certainly not comprehensive. Neither my knowledge nor a mere 200 pages would allow for that. And by no means is it the definitive word on how to manage your finances. (Sadly, that doesnt exist.) In fact, you might disagree with some of my opinions Im sure that many in the industry will. But Im confident that what follows will make you think differently and more wisely about your saving, spending, borrowing and investment decisions. In a way, Ive been writing this book for more than 20 years. I really hope you enjoy and benefit from its ideas. Even if you dont, though, please tell others that you did. P.S. Yes, I know The Wealthy Barber Returns isnt the most creative title. My daughter asked, Whats next, Dad? The Wealthy Barber Goes to Hawaii? Its like the old Gidget series. I closed her RESP.
