I'll presume that most potential readers of Mr. O'Leary's book are fans of the show Shark Tank, so I'll spare them the introduction of Mr. Wonderful. We all know him as the acerbic, money-oriented, bottom-line investor who can reduce an accomplished entrepreneur to tears in seconds. For that reason, it was fun to see his more human side in this book. He distributes excellent financial and life advice for people of all ages and in differing situations. He explains how to think about money, how to develop good money karma, and how to save on all of life's big events. In his no-nonsense style, he disburses blunt, sometimes controversial advice such as:
* Don't have kids. Ok, you can have them, but really think it through since they're little money spongers and we all know couples who decided they didn't need kids and are happy;
* Consider skipping college and going into a trade like plumbing or electrical. (This tidbit was my favorite.) He administers a short personality test and explains that some people are made for college and some are not. For those who are not, they may find more enjoyment, and yes money, pursuing an internship in an old-fashioned trade. This was a pleasant counter point to the nonstop media barrage that every kid should go to college even if it means taking on back-breaking debt;
* Consider renting, not buying a home;
* Consider living without a car;
* Don't confuse indulgences (such as boats, certain home renovations, vacation houses) with investments.
Much of what he discussed will be familiar to those who enjoy personal finance literature, but Mr. Wonderful delivers with a catchy writing style, a down-to-earth tone, and his famous wit.
