I believe that Canadian culture and thought processes are rather similar to those of Americans.
Those of us in the North will undoubtedly benefit from this!

Even if I don't live in the U.S, we are all going through the same financial crisis and we all wonder about the future. I believe this book can help anyone no matter where you live.
I personally concur with you.
The lessons, ideas, and information i got from this book will go a long way me and those who live outside the US.

For me, I am not a resident in the U.S. However, I strongly believe that the principles and ideas stated in this book cuts through race and geographical location. One can apply these irrespective of his/her location.

The principles discussed in this book definitely apply in my country. Career and retirement planning discussed in the book are similar to those in my country with only slight differences, so I think this book is universally relevant.

The government and private sector programs may be specific to the US. But the lessons are helpful. The questions in the book are useful in giving directions to plan ahead. The information is a head start to checking the available programs in your locality. The strategies can be customized depending on your circumstances. From there, you can make plans suitable to your goals.

I believe the principles in this book can also be applied outside the US. People also work in other countries, and they need to retire and also plan for it.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

Yes I believe some lessons from this book can be applied where I live. Overall, I think the knowledge of how to properly plan and save for one's retirement so as to not be subject to the government policies alone can be applied anywhere.

While this book did have some US specific information, such as the talks on the 401k and the pension advice, I feel most of what was passed across to us by the author could be applied in any country as the core message is still the same.

Here in Kenya people barely focus on retirement. I guess this is because of the high poverty rates. But I think the concept of the book can be applied here especially by those employed

To an extent yes, but it's not very practical where I live. Over here's, there's a general believe to live in the now and take life as it comes. Also, there aren't many options available for retirement planning.

Financial planning and literacy issues are the same world-over. The specifics may have been suited for US residents, but I believe most concepts in this book apply also to people in other countries.

I agree that the majority of this book is relatable and can be applied to an international audience. Especially if certain parts such as 402k are substituted to apply to non US citizens. Also, the idea of finding the right balance between living in the present and planning for the future should be done by everyone regardless of social status or residency because the benefits outweigh the costs, just as it's explained in the book.

Yes. The contents and principles of this book can be applied in my country. I do not live within the United States, but I believe that financial crisis is a universal issue. Therefore, the principles that the author mentioned can be relatively applied in my country.
