Title: Some interesting statistics but not much more
Review: At the beginning of the book I had hopes but after several chapters of not making it anywhere fast I began skimming. There was really no useful information on investing for retirement.For those just getting started, I would recommend Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace Revisited." It covers most of the topics covered in "The Number" but also gives you details in getting out of debt, mutual funds, buying smart etc etc. Other good books on money: "Rich Dad, Poor dad", "Total Money Makeover", "Richest Man in Babylon"... those are the first that come to mind.
Is the review positive or negative?
