has anyone written an investment manual for the novice? like step 1. get some money step 2. set up a scotttrade or ameritrade or whatever account or visit a brokerage firm step 3. invest in mutual funds or index funds. . .
anything of that nature? if so i'd really very much love to get my eyes on it!

thanks in advance for any replies!
good luck authors,

Wealth, Health & Love,

Have you read Suze Orman's "The Road to Wealth"? It might be helpful.

I read something of hers but i don't think it was that title. I'll check it out, what date was it published?

I'm not sure; it must have been a few years ago.

If I remember correctly, it's a large encyclopedia-like book with all the financial jargon you'll need to know, as well as her recommendations on which path to go forward based on your circumstances in life.

What I liked about it was that it was very comprehensive, easy to read, and to the point.

For the love of god, if you really wanna read some investment book, read ''The Millionarie Fastlane''.

Really? I just read the reviews on amazon, and I'm not convinced...What did you take away from it?

It explain how people are decieved today about making investment.

For example if you are a slowlaner (employee) you must save a x% from your 9-5 job, and then maybe in 40 or more years(when you are close to death) you can retire. Of course you must sacrifice the most valuable asset you can have in your life, time.

Then we got the SideWalkers, they have no plan about making investment, they just live for today and not tomorrow (than means, living with lot of debts, consumerism and don't care about a sh*t about their finances).

Finally we got the fastlane, it's an extremely fast but not easy way to get money, if you want to make millions just help millions.

I forgot tons of other things but the book it's really impresive, totally recomended.
