Barefoot Investor

We have been giving this book away of late but not actually reading it ourselves. Just about everything in there we have been doing for years.  His pet hates are credit cards, any kind of fees and property investment.  His go to moves are Superannuation and Managed Stock Market investing.  As usual with these types of books, a whole lifetime of strategies is laid out in 250 pages.  When I got to the retirement section, his idea of life in retirement is way short of mine eg no overseas travel.  But then again he is trying to do it using the pension and therefore only requiring you to save $250000.  I have dabbled with shares and still have some but if I had known about an automated share portfolio like AFIC when I was 21, I would have tried it.
