Martha said:I'll add my personal observation consistent with Bob's thoughts. If someone had given me an investing book in my 20s I wouldn't have read it. Sci Fi yes, finances no.
I remember my cousin giving me all sorts of women's conciousness books when I was in my 20s. Didn't read them either and I am a feminist. At least I guess so, I never read the manual.
I gave my two thirtysomething married daughters ESR Bob's "Work Less, Live More" book last year and the reception was less than overwhelming. They are both LBYM types, who don't have credit card debt and contribute to 401k's, but their lives are so consumed with working and raising families they have little interest in devoting what spare time they have to learning about investing and personal finance. It's all about priorities, and until they are ready...well, you know all about leading a horse to water.
