The Citibank Guide to Building Personal Wealth



About the book and its Contents

This 240 page work was made by Citibank, not just for its clientele but for any interested reader, particularly those based in the Asia Pacific region. The first chapter discusses the creation of wealth for the long-term. The second chapter is a discussion of the financial life stages and how these change as one gets older. The succeeding chapters provide a glimpse and elaboration on most bank products/services.





Review
This is one of the first personal finance books I have read and I found it to be quite interesting. It is easy to read and it gave a lot of case examples to explain the concepts.


Difficulty Level = 1/5

This is another easy read. 


Personal Rating = 5/5

For those who want to to understand a little more about bank products such as bonds and stocks, as well as collective investments (e.g. UITF, mutual funds), then this is a book you should start reading.


Personal finance tip for today:

Start saving while you are earning. Do not wait for your salary to reach a certain point or to someday win the lottery. Someday, you will need to rely on your accumulated savings. It can come much sooner than you expect.
