"The newbie investor will not find a better guide to personal finance."
--Burton Malkiel, author of A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET

TV analysts and money managers would have you believe your finances are enormously complicated, and if you don't follow their guidance, you'll end up in the poorhouse.

They're wrong.

When University of Chicago professor Harold Pollack interviewed Helaine Olen, an award-winning financial journalist and the author of the bestselling Pound Foolish, he made an off-hand suggestion: everything you need to know about managing your money could fit on an index card. To prove his point, he grabbed a 4" x 6" card, scribbled down a list of rules, and posted a picture of the card online. The post went viral.

Now, Pollack teams up with Olen to explain why the ten simple rules of the index card outperform more complicated financial strategies. Inside is an easy-to-follow action plan that works in good times and bad, giving you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to seize control of your financial life.

Get those huge bulky items out of the way
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
Overall this is a super useful garage organizer. For us personally it was not super simple to install because of how many pieces they are - but once you get it all sorted out it will be worth it! It is strong yet we have not been able to test their supposed weight capacity it claims it can hold. It is not difficult to hang things off of and they hang nicely out of the way. Currently we have our strollers and folding wagon hanging on it along with some gardening tools. I do think storage capacity wise could be improved. Overall though I think it’s great value for the money considering how sturdy it feels and getting those huge bulky items out of the way.

You get what you pay for
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
You should stagger each rail when installing. If you put them in a straight line there’s not enough space to properly use all of the hooks.

Outstanding quality, smart design, and built for real use
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks, Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
It’s sturdy, well-made, and thoroughly designed. I was so impressed that I decided to get another one and gifted it to a friend, and they love it. The metal rails are thick and solid, and the adjustable hooks are heavy duty with a protective coating that prevents scratches of tools. Everything feels durable and secure. No bending or wobbling, even when loaded with shovels, brakes, brooms, ladders, and other garden tools. The 440 pound capacity is no exaggeration. Installation is pretty straightforward and the flexibility to position. The hooks makes it easy to customize for different tool sizes.
