I originally owned the first book, Wealth Without Risk, 1988 edition. I gave it to relatives about 15 years ago to learn from and use to help get them out of financial trouble that I once had. I did so well saving money and keeping it out of the governments hands, that I retired at age 55 (8 years ago now). I use most of all the strategies learned so many years ago. When I needed to turn to the book I once had in my library, it was not there for reference. I wanted this book and all Charles Givens books back on my shelves, so I bought all three on eBay at a fraction of their cost. Charles Givens passed away in 1998 but his books are filled with many common sense ideas that the common man like myself can put in play to save money and get the whole world out of my pockets so I could live better and retire earlier. I eat better and live in better housing than my salary can afford. I have been able to tie these strategies in Given's books with other life changing events to help my children get a foot hold in this modern day world. My children have done very well with the advice I had to offer based on the book Wealth Without Risk. This book, More Wealth Without Risk has 100 more ideas, now that I have the time again and the book again, I hope to be more enlightened again. Being retired has its problems and rewards. I need to get back on track now that I have the money, the time, and the books.Read full review
I found this book to be somewhat of a detailed cheat sheet on saving and making money. For its age I was surprised how much information is still current, however I may have to just check up on some topics just in case some tax laws have changed. It’s hard to find finance books that are so well rounded and have an ability to immediately apply topics to saving money. I saved $400 bucks on some things, book already paid for itself big time.
Excellent information!!!

This is an excellent book to purchase. I use it with my clients teaching them about how money works. I love all the knowledge about some many different financial topics. It maybe an older type book but a lot of the information still pertains to things now.
great condition
