Dragons

I see Dave Chilton on TV in the Dragons Den and I often say to Karen, my wife, that if I ever meet him again I will surely buy him a beer, as some sort of tiny "thank you" for possibly the most important book in my early investing years.

In his own words, for the follow up book, "The Wealthy Barber Returns" he says :

"I’ll admit that The Wealthy Barber Returns is certainly not comprehensive. Neither my knowledge nor a mere 200 pages would allow for that. And by no means is it the definitive word on how to manage your finances. (Sadly, that doesn’t exist.) In fact, you might disagree with some of my opinions - I’m sure that many in the industry will. But I’m confident that what follows will make you think differently and more wisely about your saving, spending, borrowing and investment decisions."

I like that, mainly because he is once again saying that it's all about thinking differently about everything to do with your money, and after all, as we've already discussed, you're selling your mind, body and soul to earn that money.

So, having a good think about what you do with it, well, that makes sense does it not?

Maybe I'll not buy him a pint, just shake his hand and thank him...
