I write blog articles about finances all the time,  including how to invest, retirement investing and many other financial subjects. I just happened to spot "Sources of Wealth" when I was surfing on Amazon a few weeks ago and thought I would give it a read to see what the author, Andrea Plos, had to say.I'm pleased to write that his book, and the advice therein, are very similar to the advice that I give my readers every week. (Which is good.)His tone is frank but not stern and what I like the most is that, right from the start, he makes it abundantly clear that a person who wants to create wealth needs to take charge of their finances themselves. Not only that but, as I have been advising my readers for some time, it's always best to learn about creating wealth from people who are already wealthy. (Mr. Plos falls into that category while I, on the other hand, am still on my way.)With 20 years of experience and accrued knowledge under his wealthy belt, Mr. Plos sets about the not-so-small task of advising others about investing. His advice will be helpful to people at any age of their life and doesn't just give advice to young adults who (obviously) have much more time to invest correctly. I like that especially. (I wish I would have had this book when I was in my 20s, quite frankly.)In my opinion they should be required reading for all college students as it covers practically every financial topic that is truly important. From getting started to investing in stocks bonds, real estate and so forth, it will show the average reader how to go about setting up their own portfolio and developing their own strategies for investment. He even includes some strategies that a person who has just gone through a major life-changing experience can use to get their `financial health' back.In short what this book does is provide an excellent starting point for any person who is looking to increase their wealth, learn the ins and outs of investing and learn as much as possible about finances so that they can then use that information to their advantage. In that sense it's practically perfect and I highly recommend it.
