Simple Wealth, Inevitable Wealth, Revised Edition Hardcover – January 1, 2004

by Nick Murray (Author)
4.6 out of 5 stars 137 ratings
The wealth-building process described in this book is simple, but it isn't easy. But if you can muster the required amounts of faith, patience and discipline - and if you can draw those qualities from your advisor when your own are running low - history suggests that wealth follows over time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Overall Long Term Investing Strategy
    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I've heard the more recent version might be better but this was good. It offers an uncomplicated and reasonable long term investing strategy that isn't unnecessarily conservative which can hurt overall performance long term. There is quite a bit of repetition and I wasn't thrilled with the repeated recommendations for a financial advisor. I prefer to do my own thing with low fee total stock market index funds but that may not be right for everyone. I recommend this book.

    This is simply the best book I have ever read on the subject of investing. No alpha/beta discussions. No standard deviation smoke and mirrors. No need to be an investing sophisticate to understand Murray's message. Simple, clear, and very, very readable. All investors should read the first 27 pages straight through and then go from there. The entire book can be read in a few short hours. I have given this book to clients and been told that they feel it is the best book they have read on investing and that they are giving this book to their children to read. I highly recommend Simple Wealth Inevitable Wealth. Retail investors will NOT be disappointed in this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have read about investing
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I have read at least 30 books about investing. If this book had been the first, I don't think it would have meant as much to me as it does. But with experience it does mean a lot although it does not present a "get rich tomorrow" solution. But I believe the method presented in this book will change the rest of my life, and hopefully the lives of those coming after me.
    This is my first review. I just had to. Some of you will probably think it's a waste. Good luck.
    But for others, this is the one you should read, and follow.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The strokes of a Master mixed with the blunders of an Apprentice.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016

    I like it but .... together with an excelent summary of how to achieve wealth with a concise and brilliant exposition, the writer adds two points are are inaccurate and that "contaminate" the whole book.: 1- That you need a financial advisor that will charge you 1% of your total assets in order to prevent you from acting on your emotions and selling in a bear market. ( Sorry Nick : Costs matter., 1% year after year,will greatly decrease my assets and I if need an advisor for this ,then I may as well have somebody manage my portafolio )
    2- That one can withdraw 6 % of his/her assets yearly and not exhaust his/her portafolio.????
    Please!!!!!! . Most advisor will mention the 4 % rule,but conservative ones like myself will adhere to the 3% maximum withdrawal rate.
    Our ever-changing tax system, courtesy of our corrupt congress, is also a factor that plays a role in our withdrawal rate and makes us lean to the conservative side of the equation.
    Conclusion : a good book that summarizes most of the concepts included in the masterpiece "Stocks for the long run "of Jeremy Siegel, (that has many statistics and concepts that may be difficult to understand for the average investor),. But "Simple Wealth.. includes this two major "flaws " .
    And why were they included in this book is difficult for me to understand.

    I have read a lot of books on financial management. This one is fine but did not provide a lot of new insight. His advice makes sense and is "simple but not easy". However, it is a bit dated and he could go into more detail. This is a nice addition if you have some books already but I would not make it a "must read"

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Real EYE OPENER - A MUST READ :)
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Before purchasing this book, I knew absolutely nothing about investing. This is very basic information to takes an in depth look at investing from a different perspective from everything you've ever heard before. I read the book twice and learned even more the second time through. Financial advisers are easy to find, it's the good ones that are very difficult to come by. I started investing in stocks shortly after I read this book. Little by little each month is all it takes. If you think you'll get rich by stashing your money in your savings account, enjoy your .3% monthly interest. This book compares real knowledge and I would recommend EVERYONE read it. Thanks, Nick. I appreciate it. I wish I could meet you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Book, Profound Book
    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This book was recommended by my financial advisor and opened my eyes to an alternative view of investing. Nick Murray presented his thesis clearly at the beginning and supported that thesis the rest of the way through. He sprinkled in some humor and down-to-earth commentary that both connected me to the author and broke up the investment learning. I will keep this on my bookshelf and read it over again from time to time (it's a quick read) and definitely recommend it to anyone who is investing, those who are interested in investing and even those who couldn't care less.

    As a young person who has just entered the work force, the tips and advice that Nick provides in this book will greatly benefit me as I invest in my future. The fact that he can back up his claims with proven historical facts just shows how most of us go about investing the wrong way. I have purchased this book for others in hopes they can find the same benefit... After all if I am going to build inevitable wealth, I want my friends and family to build theirs with me.
