Your guide is cool, Marc, but I'm already over 40 years old... is it really worth buying your book?

Last updated: April 11, 2026

Short answer: yes, it’s worth it!
Detailed answer: the personal finance techniques presented in my book are applicable at any age. And even if you are over 40, they will allow you to stop working 10 or 15 years before the legal retirement age! Afterwards, if you really want to wait until you turn 65 to decide about your life every morning, you indeed don’t need my book ;)

And if you’re 65+, know that more and more readers of the blog are telling me they want to buy the book (hi JC!) to offer it to their children in order to provide them with that financial education that is so lacking in our educational system. Just sayin’ :)
