Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Five Rituals of Wealth
Tod Barnhart · 1995
63/100
👎 Skip It
Barnhart writes in an inviting, anecdote-rich style that makes the idea of a 'Wealthy Mindset' feel genuinely achievable, and the pay-yourself-first principle holds up. But a 1995 publication date means the investment landscape has shifted dramatically, and readers consistently note the book stops short of telling you exactly when or how to act. For entry-level personal finance today, fresher and more concrete options are widely available.
