Default The one sentence personal finance book summary.

Can you summarize the key point of a personal finance or development book in one sentence?

Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Wealth comes from the accumulation of income-producing assets such as stocks, bonds, and commercial real estate.

Default Susie Bright on Suze Orman on Queercents

An article on Queercents summed up Suze Orman's latest book, Women and Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny, in one sentence:
Quote:
She promises to “investigate the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money [ i.e., men] in this groundbreaking new book."
The whole article is really great: Susie Bright on Suze Orman
