INVESTED: HOW WARREN BUFFETT AND CHARLIE MUNGER TAUGHT ME TO MASTER MY MIND, MY EMOTIONS, AND MY MONEY By Danielle Town & Phil Town


Danielle Town was a typical Millennial who was working hard at her law office, but not really making ends meet. Danielle’s father, Phil Town, had written a couple books on financial advice. Phil Town had tried to get his daughter to practice smart money management, but she resisted…until now. Together, Danielle and Phil try to restructure Danielle’s financial life. Along the way, Danielle learns the basics of value investing practiced by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. If you’ve been confused by investing terminology and concepts, Invested is the perfect place to find clarity. Danielle slowly works her way through the steps of investing and along the way makes a tidy sum with the help of her Dad. Invested covers most of the key knowledge of investing with plenty of examples. It demystifies a complicated process. If someone asked to recommend an investment book, I’d go with Invested. GRADE: A
