Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Wealthier
Daniel R Solin · 2024
75/100
👍 Worth It
Daniel Solin makes a genuinely compelling case for passive index investing — two ETFs, minimal fees, ignore the noise — and Kirkus praised it as concise and comprehensive. The evidence base is solid and the critique of financial industry conflicts is well-grounded. The scope is deliberately narrow (passive only, US context), so this won't satisfy readers wanting a full investing curriculum, but for a millennial DIY investor skeptical of advisors, this is an unusually clear and actionable starting point.
