This is the first financial self-help book I've read, and I wish I didn't have to read such books at all because I find them boring and stressful. But we live in the capitalist hellscape, and I am getting married soon, so I'm buckling down and trying to figure shit out. This is my disclaimer as a reviewer.

For Richer, Not Poorer was written in 2005, and in many ways, it shows - from the numbers it cites to the way to talks about the internet, it is clear even to me that it is outdated. That said, it has some important timeless tips - like it walks you through a balance sheet and lists important questions for you to discuss with your partner. And though the numbers are no longer accurate, many of the accounts and insurance types still exist. I didn't really know about HSAs, for example, before reading this - while the numbers around qualifying for one have certainly changed, being informed of their existence allowed me to do my own research. Ultimately, that is the primary advantage of this book.
