This book is just not realistic. I've seen the rave reviews for it, so I thought I'd check it out. While yes, investing in the stock market is a great idea, as investing in real estate, the author is just not realistic when he suggests doing this instead of investing in a 401-K or savings account. The stock market can let you win big- but it can also let you lose big. Savings accounts and 401-Ks may stagnate, but they're steady.
