Hard Assets and Hard Money for Hard Times by Ben Reinberg urges readers to consider their options when thinking about their generational wealth. In its four sections, readers learn about how difficult moments in our society impact wealth management. The book highlights four key ideals to weathering tough times: 1. Transactional Focus (What); 2. Capital Diversification (Who); 3. Market Positioning (Where); and 4 Data-Driven Decisions (How). Throughout the book, Reinberg goes into depth about these four elements to ensure the reader understands how to best manage their wealth.

The book begins by stating individuals who want to grow their generational wealth will benefit from the advice explained throughout; however, business owners may be the better intended audience. The information included in the book could help small business owners, those looking to start their own business, or those who want to grow their existing portfolios. The book includes a number of examples for real estate owners and those looking to get into real estate. This touches on the book’s main theme: How someone can use hard assets (like real estate) to build their generational wealth.

The overall reading experience was quick and easy to comprehend. Though, the style can occasionally come across as generic, relying on stock phrasing rather than the kind of distinctive storytelling or analysis that makes nonfiction memorable. Still, the information provided was useful to the reader. The formatting proved challenging in some parts, but overall the content was easy to follow. The advice given was laid out in clear paragraphs with actionable goals. The summaries at the end of each chapter were also helpful.
