Description
A Framework for Sustained Capital Growth
If you already know the financial planning basics, the fundamentals, and the mistakes to avoid but are uncertain of what comes next to increase your wealth, this book is for you.
Most personal finance books fall into one of two categories. Some cover the basics: the smart use of credit cards, debt management, buying a home, how mortgages work, and starting to save early. Some deal with managing your own money by trying to turn you into an investment genius, leaving you under the impression that just by following a few simple formulas or spending a few hours a week, you will beat the pros in an extremely competitive arena. Too few books present a comprehensive approach that takes you beyond the basics and focuses on the key decisions that will increase your wealth.
Sammy Azzouz wrote this book to help bridge that gap—to provide an individual capital allocation framework for successful people who are looking for what to do next.
Advance Praise
“Effective capital allocation is one of the most important skills that top business leaders need to grow their companies. Beyond the Basics has done a great job translating these business concepts into a framework that will help individuals generate, allocate, and protect their own capital during their wealth-building journey.”
—Paula Price, Chief Financial Officer at Macy’s, Inc.
“Beyond the Basics is an important book to read for those who are looking to take their personal finance knowledge to the next level and increase their financial success. It distills into very clear writing and practical steps Sammy’s financial planning wisdom built from many years of professional experience and careful thinking about financial security and wealth growth.”
—Luis M. Viceira, George E. Bates Professor, Senior Associate Dean for Executive Education, Harvard Business School

Very comprehensive overview of personal finance, saving, and investments. It really does go beyond the basics, and details all of the fine print that come with retirement accounts, stocks, investment returns, and much more.
Caroline C, Media/Journalist
Billed as a book that is in-between the fundamentals of money management and advanced investing, the book delivers on that premise. It covers more nuanced concepts – e.g., the importance of capital allocation, opportunity cost and taking the emotions out of financial decisions. Maybe it’s because I’m a career coach and deliver the same message but I particularly liked that Azzouz names your earning potential as a valuable asset and recommends investing in your career as much as financial investing. I also appreciated how Azzouz went beyond paper assets and covered real estate – actual rental real estate and not just REIT’s or real-estate based paper. The book is an accessible read and covers different ground than most mass media personal finance books.
Darya Y, Reviewer
The book is very nice although US reality centric in some parts. This is fair enough because taxes as system varies in different countries. The general rules are very much applicable and adjustable to where I creative as well as other countries I used to live.
