Most relevant  
Majority if the book focus on getting rid of your credit card debt. Which is useful for people who can't control their spending. The latte factor tells you to save and invest in mutual fund and make it automatic. Most of the company are US based. It also goes on giving you strategy on how to increase your income, but the advise is quite generic, performing well at work, buy a franchise or start your own business.
The most useful part is the last chapter on how to live rich. You need to find your purpose in life and everything else will fall into place. Give more to earn more, donate to charity, live your life how it meant to be, I found this last section worth repeating over and over again.
Unfortunately there is no companion to the examples, calculation mentioned in the earlier chapter, so listening to the earlier chapter is quite boring as the author read it from a table of numbers. The chapter mentioned in the narrative also doesn't correlate with the audible chapters, this can be quite annoying if you want to skip to a certain chapters, hence the 3 star review.

Great book to make sure you are getting rich
