What people on Hacker News said
Learning about the financial system really changed my perspective on how to deal with money in the long term. It has had immediate effects on my life.
This book is enormously valuable to me, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone (friends, family, colleagues).
I read this book a little while ago, and it prompted me to make several important changes in my life: start saving for retirement, get life and disability insurance, set up college funds for the kids.
There's tons of practical advice, but in general it covers principles of sound personal finance, such as how to be savvy with your personal savings.
