The Old Money Book: How To Live Better While Spending Less: Secrets of America's Upper Class

This was interesting to read, some lifestyle tips to live a refined lifestyle. However, if you are already money savvy, this will not provide any new information. Do not expect this to give you any ideas about how to create inter-generational wealth. That is an entirely different book altogether.

Simple yet powerful advice for having a simpler, richer life... loved this tiny book.

I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase and I finished it all in one sitting. The book offers indispensable insights into the value system of America's Upper Class (such as their perspective on education, vocation, choice of spouse and finances), as well as the way of living that stems from those values (choice of dwelling, ways of socializing, travel, attire, ettiquette, etc.). This is not a personal finances/investment tips guide, but rather a presentation of value sytem centered around a well-rounded and full life, part of which is financial independence. If you belong to the Upper class you' ll probably identify with many of the notions presented here. If not, this is a concise (150 pages packed with information: the writer abhors waste and so do I) and highly practical guide that sheds light into the habits of the Upper Class, habits that ultimately contibute to their success in life. I'll be purchasing the 'Old Money Guide to Marriage' quite shortly.

I really enjoyed this book.It is full of so much great advice that should be on the national curriculum for young adults prior to entering "the real world". It's the type of book that you wish you'd have read years ago - I certainly wish I'd had this in my arsenal 15 years ago, it would have saved me from so many pitfalls (mainly financial).Tully's writing style is very friendly and agreeable, like an old trusted pal pulling you aside to give you some welcome tidbits that you need to hear. Title aside (I know many liberals who would probably balk at this title), it pulls secrets from the lifestyles of some of the most well-rounded, grounded, financially and socially successful sub-cultures around today. The Old Money Book both affirmed many things I have felt about my lifestyle and personal countenance for a long time, but also highlighted a few areas I still would like to refine.A very worthy read and I enjoyed it so much immediately ordered Tully's book on marriage (already half-way through and enjoying it also).

This is an excellent book. The author evidently knows how to write well and vaptivate his readers. It is a truly entertaining read and have read it twice already. I was especially impressed by the author's references to other cultures, including those from Asia.
