Discussion Questions

General Impressions

Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.


1. How did Collins’s philosophy of financial independence, centered on frugality, index investing, and long-term perspective, challenge or affirm your current beliefs about money and success? Were there parts that felt liberating, overly simplistic, or surprising?


2. Reflect on Collins’s tone and structure—his conversational style, use of personal anecdotes, and direct advice. Did you find this approach accessible and motivating, or did it lack the rigor or depth you expect in a financial guide? How does it compare to other financial or self-help books you have read, such as Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter’s Rich Dad Poor Dad?


3. As a guide to financial freedom, did The Simple Path to Wealth leave you with clear, practical steps, or did it feel more like a personal manifesto? Evaluate whether the ideas presented gave you a usable roadmap or raised new questions. What elements were most helpful, and which felt less actionable?
