Just Keep Buying: Proven ways to save money and build your wealth

Very well written and interesting book for those starting off in investing, or even for those who have been doing it for a while. Some great anecdotal evidence and statistical data to back up the text in the book. I would highly recommend reading this great book

Decent read, with good basic economics. Good advice for the future? Time will tell

Favourite investing book. Keeps it simple but it was an enjoyable read.

Interesting Book

Nick does what he does best in this book and cuts out all the noise for people starting their investment journey, or perhaps looking to re assess their strategy. A great digestible read

It's a very interesting book with lots of well researched facts that are often surprising and counter intuitive. Well worth reading.

The blurb at the back gives warning that the author is data scientist - no bad thing - the downside is a book filled with unreadable bar graphs and data point graphs - the writer throws up one after the other to illustrate what may be valid points - but not ideal for a reader not experienced as a data scientist. The actual advice arising from the book isn’t exactly original and at times hardly helpful. My personal gripe - his dissing of monthly investments as an inferior strategy - he assumes that readers have a few thousand lying around to throw into the market rather than from mostly salaries. Then towards the end it is a death by a thousand graphs - needless complexity and then the American focus starts - hardly ideal for readers in other parts of the world with different tax systems. The third to last chapter gives the takeaways in about three pages (from over 200 pages). The final two chapters consist of podcast level “what’s important in life”. All in all - it has important stuff to say - it just does it badly.

I enjoyed this book. The author backs up most of his points in the book with data that he has collected through research. His information about retirement accounts is a different take than is provided by most other financial writers. Definitely worth a read.

The book is quite complete, and there's a huge amount of references to support the information provided - and not only the old, standard references we all hear and read in most books on finance, but also plenty of references from as close as to the last couple of years. I don't agree 100% with the author (he doesn't think stock-picking is a good idea, but I believe that it really depends on each person and can be a good idea). A great read, that anyone thinking of saving or investing should take a look at.

Changes the way you think about money and investing. Super practical. Helped me build my financial strategy for the coming years.

Very useful!

This book clearly stands out from the other personal finance books by one great strength - Data visualization. Maggiulli, a wealth management data scientist, beautifully represented his thoughts in the consumable pattern. His charts and graphs help you to retain the information decently but, (there's always a but) it is not easy to retain the maximum of the information if you've bought a single stock in your life. This book needs some good exposure in asset classes like stocks and bonds, the bare minimum. Also, this book mostly talks about the investment strategy based out of the U.S. stock market and a plethora of historical data ranging from the great depression to the COVID-19 pandemic. I must say, that I admire the research Maggiulli put into this book to make it readable. The book has been separated into 2 parts. Saving and Investing. I was able to relate to the Saving part of the book a lot more than the Investing part. This is mostly because I'm not an American and I totally got disconnected in the taxes chapter of the book where he talks about Roth and 401(k). I must say however, that's a little portion when compared to the entire book. I really felt great when Maggiulli, declares that Time is the most valuable asset than anything in this world. In his own words, "You can always earn more money, but nothing can buy you more time." The book needs re-read if you want to get hold of the investment part of it. That's a non-negotiable part of this book I would say. But give it a read, and see what you can do with it.
