Description
This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things - mostly about money and investing - she was not yet quite ready to hear.
Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical.
"But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run.
Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms.
Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective.
The simple approach I created for her and present now to you is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other.
Together we'll explore:
- Debt: why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it
- The importance of having f-you money
- How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth
- Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works
- What the stock market really is and how it really works
- Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it
- How to invest in a raging bull or bear market
- Specific investments to implement these strategies
- The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age
- How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it
- How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA, and Roth accounts
- TRFs (target retirement funds), HSAs (health savings accounts), and RMDs (required minimum distributions)
- What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition
- Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all
- Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey
- The truth behind Social Security
- A case study on how this all can be implemented in real life
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Truly a life-changing read
I had been interested in personal finance for some time before Covid hit, but The Simple Path to Wealth is the book that brought along deep and lasting changes to the way I view money - and perhaps life in general. I am grateful to Mr. Collins for this great piece, and return to it regularly. The performance in audio form is also great fun.

Great Book!! Get a physical copy though.
I loved almost all of the financial advice given in this book. I will now go and buy a physical copy of it to reference for years to come. I wasn’t a big fan of the audio version though, for a few reasons.
1. The information needs to be readily available for reference. I need to highlight things and be able to go back and forth in the book. 2. There are a LOT of numbers be cited. Percentages and dollar amounts that don’t register as well when being read to you. You need to see them to be able to process them better. 3. Most audio books are listened to while doing other tasks - driving, exercising, etc. I feel like this book needs your full attention. Your finances and future wealth should warrant more than just background noise with a good story. You need to take notes, look up things, etc. Overall, fantastic book!!! But get a physical copy, you will get more from it.

Misleading, heavily biased
This is a really long advertisement for the Vanguard index fund. According to the author, the simple investment plan is to put your money in one, and that’s it.
There. I just saved you 6 hours.
This book is not about wealth accumulation. It's an advocacy piece preaching for only for one single investment vehicle. If it was a book intended for education, it would present you pros and cons, options to consider, and decision frameworks. This book does not do any of those things. Though the author says he's not affiliated with the fund, it does sound like a 6-hour sales presentation.
He doesn’t mention real estate nor how you can start your business. He doesn’t go into means of cash flow, life insurance plans, commodities. He doesn't explain how velocity and leverage works. You’re not supposed to work with any advisors. Don’t bother trading your own stocks because you won’t be good at it. No one is good at it. He repeatedly bashes other investment opportunities. No matter who you are, what your lifestyle is, what your career goals, what life circumstance you’re in, the Vanguard index fund is guaranteed to make anyone rich. It’s the ultimate panacea. You don’t need anything else ever.
As a reader, you need to know there’s never been a one-size-fits-all investment strategy for everyone ever. You should be very cautious of anyone saying there's only one way to become wealthy. That is an absolute lie.
That said, you'll be well-versed in the Vanguard index fund, but potentially ignorant about everything else.
If you listen to this book, the bias is blatantly clear. It would be more accurate to rename the book “Why the Vanguard Index Fund is the Best (and Why Everything Else is Not.)”

6 hours of repeating the same 5 minutes
SIMPLE equals start saving in a index fund, Namely, a Vanguard brand such as VTSAX or VTSAX or VTSAX or VTSAX or some other Vanguard index fund, But VTSAX also invests in them as well. Oh and by the way, start saving 40 years before you want to retire. Now, If you are already able to establish a family budget; spend less than you earn; invest in the rest without watching it too closely AND leave it to ride for 30 to 40 years you will average 8 to 11% increase per year as the market constantly marches upward over the long run. The path is that Simple. He does state at the beginning that the name of the book is NOT the EASY path to wealth. Unfortunately, it is not easy unless you had extra cash in the 80's. With that being said, I have saved you 6 hours and 35 minutes that should be spent looking for a helpful book on actually creating a budget to spend less than you earn and invest for the long run.

Lives up to its title . . . and then some
Any additional comments?
Oh how I wish: (a) this book had existed back when I was just graduating from college, (b) somebody had given this book to me, and (c) I had listened to every word in it.
This is one of those "If I knew then what I know now" books. The lessons in here are priceless. Everybody should read this book and heed the advice in it.
The best part is you don't have to be all that interested in finance or 401(k)'s or any of that stuff. In fact, if you really dislike such things, this is probably the perfect book for you. JL Collins takes these complicated and boring financial matters and does two nice things for you: (1) throws out all the crap you don't need to know, and (2) explains what you do need to know in layman's terms that anybody can understand. So not only is the wisdom in this book chockfull of solid gold nuggets on a need-to-know basis, but the delivery is crystal clear and simple to follow in practice.
Speaking of the delivery, OMGoodness does JL Collins have a superb voice for the audiobook format. He reminds me of David McCullough. He has the kind of deep grandfatherly "gather 'round the campfire for a story" voice. It's fabulous.
In summary, this book is worth every penny. Along with a handful of other "quake books" that changed my life for the better, this one is getting added to that list (right alongside John C. Bogle's "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing"). I can't recommend this book enough. Get it for yourself. Listen to it. Make your kids listen to it. Your siblings. Your friends. Your parents. The lessons in it are too valuable not to share with everybody you know.

Buy and Hold VTSAX
Book about how to invest simply, but does not touch much on the other aspects of personal finance. Collins loves Vanguard, specifically VTSAX, which has a low expense ratio and tracks the market well. His logic is that capitalism works, so investing in this basket of roughly 1,500 stocks will manage itself.
Key takeaways: Don’t worry about timing the market, spend a lot less than you make if you want to retire early, pay off debt that is more than 5% interest, don’t spend too much on a house, and take advantage of tax-incentive retirement plans.
Collins makes the claim that almost all personal finance workers (ie. Investment Advisors and Broker Dealers) are crooks and if you must work with someone in the profession, work with a fee-only advisor to save your money. Given that each person’s situation can be uniquely different, do not care for this argument much because most people cannot stomach strong down turns without someone talking them off the cliff of selling. If you can stick to the buy-and-hold strategy on your own, this book is for you.

Simplest and Best Book on Personal Finance
Any additional comments?
Personal Finance is often so over complicated. This is the first book I've encountered that simplifies the subject. It is easily digestible and makes a ton of sense. I wish I would have followed the principles in my twenties. Now in my early thirties, I am going to start implementing it. If you want to get out of debt and start living the life you've always wanted then pick up this book. This is the only book on personal finance I can recommend. Save 50% of your income, live below your means, invest in low cost index funds, and avoid debt. Sounds pretty easy right?

Fantastic!
I've read six or seven early financial independence books recently and this one is the best. I like the author's down-to-earth style and overall presentation. A great listen!

Overall pretty good, with a few shortfalls
This is a great beginners guide to learning about, managing and investing money. It provides a good high level strategic view, and also gives tactical and operational advice, especially about the types of index funds to hold in tax advantaged versus taxable buckets. However it is very heavily focused solely on Vanguard when not everyone will have access to, or want to use that firm. It is fine if the author wants to use Vanguard, but he should provide more details on comparable index funds at other firms since most discount brokers pretty much have them now-a-days. Also, he doesn't give ETFs fair consideration. Case in point: Vanguard has ETFs (VTI) with fees comparable to its equivalent Admiral shares (and no minimum investment unlike Admiral shares). Why isn't this discussed?
I like that the subject of charitable giving was treated towards the end of the book, although again I am puzzled by why he is pushing Vanguard Charitable. This account has a $25,000 minimum while Schwab and Fidelity have a $5,000 minimum each, both of which can also invest in comparable passive index funds/ETFs. Yet again this is not mentioned.
Personally I don't care for the author's use of the term "FU money". I'm sure there is a better way to make this point without bordering on classless vulgarity.

Very little new content and strong US focus
This book was recommended by many on reddit. Unfortunately, I found the advice a bit too simple. There are several chapters built all around the idea that this one fund or combination of funds will return money forever because it has done so over the past century. Apart from that there is lengthy discussion about US taxes, which don’t apply to me.
