Dear Mr. Bach:
Thank you very much for your excellent work. Your books should be mandatory for all High School Seniors.

When I hit 40 earlier this year, I had a lot of pent up feelings of woulda, coulda, shoulda,…I just finished your book “Start Late, Finish Rich” and immediately enacted all of your financial advice-I jacked up my 401k to the max, did the “Latte factor” analysis, consolidated my debt, etc…Ironically, however I realized that your financial advice paled in comparison to the advice you give in the last chapter.

While I take great comfort in the fact that I have put my financial regrets to rest and have a rosy future ahead of me by acting on your financial advice now, the most important advice was to enjoy life now instead of wishing it away.

I have a 3 year old boy who loves to see Daddy come through the door. After working 6 days a week up to 12 hours a day I just want to put my feet up and zone out in front of the tube when I come home. Sadly, I was paying very little attention to my son even though he is the source of my greatest joy. NO MORE-I stoppped watching tv, I cut back on my hours, started scheduling fun things for us to do, and I am having a ball hanging around with my son. I am a little kid again as we wrestle, play GI Joes, smash trucks, etc….I immediately became the richest man in the world. Your book should have been called “Start Rich, Finish Rich”

THANK YOU,
