Dave Barry’s Money Secrets Book Review

I like Dave Barry’s columns. I think he’s a funny guy. But this book was awful. So awful that I read about 10 pages and returned it to the library a few hours later. I just couldn’t tell when he was joking and when he was doling out an actual pearl of wisdom. If you’re not a very financially savvy person, you’re going to have a hard time extracting any advice out of this book. Rather than looking for entertainment while reading a personal finance educational guide, get serious and read a real book like The Millionaire Next Door.

    I wouldn’t have counted on taking any real advice out of a Dave Barry book. I sure haven’t from any of his others! Well, except on how to be funnier, maybe…
