The same happy elephant appeared on the bags, its head raised to the sky, the trunk curved like an S. "Elephant," Todd said. He said it because a laborer was staring at it intently. Which meant he wasn't working. "That's right," the man said. "I couldn't remember the word." He was the only other human at the loading dock this morning.

Please start anywhere but there. It's truly inane and a little misleading. He talks about 12% returns in a book written in 1989, just years after the era of 12% inflation. He talks about "saving 10%", but then he says that you also have to save money for retirement, which basically amounts to 25 or 30% savings for the average person. Of course, he only mentions the retirement savings once. He wants you believe that you can achieve wealth on a 10% savings plan (you probably can't). OK, the Wealthy Barber is simply a horrible book.
