The book offers sound, practical advice, no matter what your age or net worth. Bottomline, become a Boglehead and prosper! Originally just the chat-line ruminations of Boglehead founder Taylor Larimore, and Morningstar forum leading cohorts Mel Lindauer and Michael LeBoeuf, their trusted advice has been brewed and distilled into an easy-to-use, need-to-know, no frills guide to building up your own financial well-being – so you can worry less and profit more from the investments you make. Invest like a Boglehead, and let their grassroots investment wisdom guide you down the path of long-term wealth creation and happiness, without all the worries and fuss of stock pickers and day traders. If you face a financial crisis or problem, or simply want to know what is prudent to do with the money you save, the Bogleheads will have the answers you need to help you gain your financial footing and keep it. Review: A practical book charts a clear course - This book establishes a set of basic principles for investing and, to a lesser degree, personal finance. The authors propose the principles, explain them, illustrate them and show you how to apply them. The book glances on non-investment personal finance topics including adopting a net worth mindset, emergency funds, estate planning, and insurance. The insurance chapter was very valuable and exposed several fallacious rationalizations people apply to insurance purchase decisions. The meat of the book is investing. Investing is covered in great detail, including in-depth descriptions of various investments, how they work, and how (or if) you should use them. The coverage of the effect of taxes on your investments is detailed and invaluable. The costs of investing are examined, and when you know where to look, you may find some nasty surprises in your current investments, especially your 401k plan! The entire book is highly opinionated, and I found that refreshing. The authors know what they're talking about, have a good idea of what the average person saving for retirement needs to do, and never fail to call it the way they see it. The writing style is fact-based advice, with humorous sayings sprinkled about, and is best described as "grandfatherly." The chapter on behavioral economics was an eye-opener. I thought that I was smart enough not to fall for any of those traps. I smugly read through the first half of them, then recognized myself in "Paralysis by Analysis." Oh my. That gave me some food for thought, and a new outlook. I did find the chapter on Asset Allocation to be lacking in practical advice. It only glanced on how to make an asset allocation for yourself, and didn't address the difficulties of balancing an asset allocation over multiple tax-advantaged accounts that have contribution limits and withdrawal penalties. (But there's a list of recommended reading in the back, and maybe one of those books will have more information on this topic.) Having just finished the book, I'm going back through it and making a list of information I need and actions to take. I finally have a direction to go in, and not just more conflicting details! Review: Excellent - In short, get it, it's a very helpful book. I am fairly new to investing and felt that I was uncomfortable making choices as to what to choose as investments. This book gave me a great explanation of the many different choices to make in investing and how to go about them. This book actually covers more than just investing though, it touches on retirement and how to plan for it, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, insurance and a few other subjects that I felt were great topics and they covered well enough for me to understand, but didn't go into so much detail that I couldn't follow everything. In my honest opinion, every single school should be using this book and teaching kids about all the topics in here in 12th grade before they are released into the world. I've never read a book so fast in my life. In fact, I think that I did more reading in this book than I did in all of high school. It kept me interested and I don't feel that any of it was a waste of my time. For more experienced investors, I could even see this being a great refresher on topics, and I know that in the future I will be referring back to it when making choices in the future. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #295,499 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #415 in Retirement Planning (Books) #665 in Introduction to Investing #2,110 in Economics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 152 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BJa86gHWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A practical book charts a clear course *by S***I on September 3, 2008* This book establishes a set of basic principles for investing and, to a lesser degree, personal finance.

I had finally found myself with a decent job and the ability to start putting away money. I quickly realized I didn't know where to start when it came to retirement savings. Money is something we all have to think about multiple times a day and those decisions have a long lasting effects on our future selves YET most of us don't get a proper education on how to manage our finances! This book got me thinking long term. Do I need to buy the most expensive phone? Do I need a brand new car? Can I put this charge on my credit card and pay it off in full at the end of the month? Maybe my hard earned money is better spent on my future, that one dollar saved today will be $8-$10 when I retire if I instead invest it. It taught me to not get fancy with mutual funds that peel off 1-3% in fees and instead stick to low cost index funds. That little 1% savings on fees over time could mean retiring when I am 55 or having to work another 10 years or more. As the financial crisis was hitting the US in 2008, and the stock market was tanking I was buying. I had quickly paid off my debts and my standard 10% retirement savings per month went to 20%, then 30%. By 2009 I was putting away nearly 50% of my income into my retirement and brokerage accounts. Ten years later I am debt free and in a much better financial situation than my peers. Buy this book, educate yourself and invest in your future. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/71869410-the-bogleheads-guide-to-investing](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/71869410-the-bogleheads-guide-to-investing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
