Cool quotes include:
- “Asking your bank how much you’re allowed to spend is a bit like asking Ronald McDonald if you are allowed to supersize your Big Mac and fries.”
- “Doesn’t coffee taste better when it’s made in a shiny machine on a granite countertop?”
- “Why does several hundred thousand dollars not matter when we’re discussing houses but we’ll coupon cut for 50 cents?”
WLR includes a lot of other cool stuff, including much that can admittedly be found in other personal finance books. Topics such as making more than you spend, how to save the rest, and some uniquely Canadian personal finance concepts are all good stuff. The thing that sets WLR apart is the commitment to not taking itself too seriously. Items such Forrest Gump quotes and Maple Leaf analogies that end with such pearls of wisdom such as, “Don’t be a Toronto Maple Leaf,” will allow people that usually can’t get through the first chapter of a personal finance book to chuckle their way through this one.
