Description

The world of investing normally sees experts telling us the 'right' way to manage our money. How often do these experts pull back the curtain and tell us how they invest their own money? Never. 

How I Invest My Money changes that. 

In this unprecedented collection, 25 financial experts share how they navigate markets with their own capital. In this honest rendering of how they invest, save, spend, give, and borrow, this group of portfolio managers, financial advisors, venture capitalists and other experts detail the 'how' and the 'why' of their investments. They share stories about their childhood, their families, the struggles they face and the aspirations they hold. Sometimes raw, always revealing, these stories detail the indelible relationship between our money and our values. 

Taken as a whole, these essays powerfully demonstrate that there is no single 'right' way to save, spend, and invest. We see a kaleidoscope of perspectives on stocks, bonds, real assets, funds, charity, and other means of achieving the life one desires. With engaging illustrations throughout by Carl Richards, How I Invest My Money inspires readers to think creatively about their financial decisions and how money figures in the broader quest for a contented life.

  • Realistic

    By Asadur Rahim
    Love this book. It provides sufficient conceptual and practical knowledge based on valid research. Rather than providing arbitrary rules i.g save 20% of your monthly income, Nick provides solutions derived from a variety of valid resources. The book is split into Saving and Investing sections. Both offer excellent advice for those looking to improve their financial situations. Really happy to have been able to discover this book through an IG page called “alexandbooks_”. He reads a wide variety of books and informs his viewers on th must reads.

  • Cover to Cover Enjoyment

    By Milty16
    I sincerely enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover. Hearing how other professionals in the financial services space manage their own money is a breath of fresh air from the countless articles telling us what to do with our money. I really enjoyed reading everyone’s perspective. There are numerours similarities among what the professionals do but everyone’s background provided slightly different twists. I loved reading all of these approachs as I continue to develop my own approach to how I invest my money.
