The Wealthy Barber, Updated

by David Chilton

" . . . quite simply the best financial self-help book." --Money Book Club, Book-of-the-Month Club In this new and updated edition of one of the biggest-selling financial-planning books ever, David Chilton simplifies the complex puzzles of personal finance and helps you achieve financial independence. With the help of his fictional barber, Roy, and a large dose of humor, Chilton shows you how to take control of your financial future--slowly, steadily, and with sure success. Chilton's plan (detailed in an entertaining story) is no get-rich-quick scheme, but it does make financial independence possible on nothing more than an average salary. This third edition has been updated with assistance from the Arthur Andersen Corporation, and covers the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and other recent developments. Even if you consider yourself a financial "basket case," Chilton explains how you can easily put an effective financial plan into action.
