This guide is very well written and clearly explains how to proceed with starting to invest. ( )

I admit I had trouble getting into this. It was too simplistic to me, but I was afraid to skip ahead because I didn't want to get lost, and the link-to-website portions were highly distracting to me. I stopped reading and started goofing off on the website. I think this would be more helpful as a physical book, where I can flip between sections easier and am less likely to find myself wandering away from the text and onto online forums and classes and things.

This book was great for walking a beginner through investing. The author started with defining the terminology and gave sound advice and information. The first few pages were a turn off looking like a gimmicky advertisement, but after getting through that I really enjoyed the book and gained confidence with investing in stocks and bonds.
