Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need
Andrew Tobias · 2022
85/100
👍 Worth It
Andrew Tobias has been updating this book for decades and the 2022 edition proves he still knows when to stay the course and when to evolve — the additions on crypto, GameStop, and COVID give it real currency. The writing is clear and genuinely funny, which is rarer than it should be in personal finance. If you want one book to get your financial house in order, this is still a top-shelf pick.
