Many years ago, working as a Quality Control Engineer, I read “The Goal” by Eliyahu Goldratt & Michael C.Gray. I loved their approach – teaching complicated management concepts in a novel format. Later, I reviewed a similar business novel on Lean Manufacturing. It did a great job of explaining the concepts of “lean” and the benefits of “lean” to business enterprises. So, when an opportunity arose to review the present book, I was quite enthusiastic. I am happy to report that my enthusiasm was not misplaced!
I have been a lazy investor and thus in a way protected myself from the bull and bear cycles of Indian Stock Market over the years and thus felt somewhat vindicated by the strategies that Miller recommends. If I could go back and relive my life, I would follow many of Millers’ recommendations beautifully brought out by his main character, an older school teacher named Mrs. Kramer. Her wisdom applies across borders and across cultures.
Enjoy Your Money is one of the best and most complete resources for money management at the personal level. Yet, the concepts are equally applicable to any business of any scale. The book is divided into four parts: Investing Money, Saving Money, Making Money and Enjoying Money (including giving it away to causes that you believe in). You need to make money, save money and invest today’s money for a secure future. Then, you need to find the right value systems in life (money is not the end; it is a means for the end). That message comes through quite lucidly.
I loved the movie script or play format! It worked for this book, transforming a large amount of research into an entertaining and easy read. The characterization of the participants is quite good and the style is very good, holding the reader’s attention quite well. The book is well edited and nicely printed with just a couple of errors that won’t affect your enjoyment or understanding. The Epilogue is quite surprising! I won’t spoil your own enjoyment by revealing it.
The book gives many other useful resources (websites, other books etc.) and thus points you in the right direction if you want to explore further. The biographical sketches (from Warren Buffett to Sam Walton to Led Zeppelin) are informative and inspiring.
In summary, this is one of the best books on money management that I’ve ever read. I strongly recommend it to one and all.

Enjoy Your Money!: How to Make It, Save It, Invest It and Give ItWow! I never thought a book on money could be so engaging to teens and adults alike and have so much practical information. You could tell the author did his research and covered just about every area of money management that most of us can use. I dare you to honestly disagree with the wisdom presented. If anyone, particularly young people, follows the advice given they will certainly be able to enjoy their money. Pay your teens to read this, it’ll be the best investment you ever made.

Wow! What you gain from this book, for the money you put out, is value beyond measure, impacting for a lifetime…so much so that I’ve been reading portions to my financial-advisor husband. It’s topic is always pertinent and timely, but the need is intensely felt during these currently difficult economic times. Grab the baton being passed to you, reader, and devour the priceless and invaluable wisdom to be gleaned here. This easily-digestible, nutritionally-sound, deliciously- morseled “meal” is served up for your benefit with financially-packed “bytes.”

As a high school teacher for over 30 years, I have seen a void develop with our youth about how to handle money. This book fills that void and should be used in all high schools and colleges. It is so good and well written that I could not put it down until its completion. All ages can learn from Mr. Miller’s methods that he presents in just the correct way to make it interesting.
