Smart Couples Finish Rich: 9 Steps to Creating a Rich Future for You and Your Partner by David Bach

3.0

Recommended by my boyfriend's cousin, a professional financial advisor. The emphasis on in-depth communication and the risk of different assumptions is certainly worthwhile. The rest didn't seem as relevant to my own life and patterns as many of the other financial advice books I've read, however. It really feels like it's for yuppies. There's quite an emphasis on saving for big-ticket expenditures. Which many people do need, but not me right now. And the values project just didn't click, especially such a vague way of defining values. He does address debt and retirement and emergency funds, but not in a new way. If this was the first financial book I'd read, it would probably make more of an impression.
