The Wealthy Barber is not full of new techniques, complex strategies, nor get-rich-quick-or-even-semi-quick schemes. Instead it focuses on the financial planning basics that, over time, have proven to be effective. It's primarily common sense—common sense that, unfortunately, in our society is not common knowledge. By using a "novel" format and strong doses of humour, Chilton has taken the intimidation and boredom out of the financial-education experience. Much of The Wealthy Barber's success is certainly owed to its author's unique presentation skills. An economics graduate and former winner of the H.L.Gassard Award for the highest mark in the country on the Canadian Securities Course, Dave Chilton definitely does not fit the stereotype of a dry financial expert. The Chicago Sun-Times said it most succinctly when they stated "Chilton is charming, unpretentious and funny."
