Terry Savage Talks Money
Terry Savage · 1993
58/100
👎 Skip It
Terry Savage's plain-language approach and Wall Street Journal endorsement are real credentials, and the 1993 book was comprehensive for its time. But 33 years of change in tax law, financial products, and the digital economy have substantially eroded the specific guidance. Worth browsing for foundational concepts, but any reader acting on the details should verify them against current resources.
