My thoughts

It was a good read. I feel good that this book is marking the beginning of my great journey with money. This book made me realise a few things I was confused about. As in what time is right to start earning? Does education guarantee money? How can I start investing? And so on. I believe this book is capable of answering these questions and much more. 

Clearly one reading is not enough to master the skill. So don't get discouraged if you don't understand something. Try and search about it, because this curiosity of yours is also a major skill for becoming rich. Read it twice and thrice until you are satisfied. This book would lead you to many such books to feed your curiosity further.
