The Wealthy Barber is a personal finance guide by David Chilton. The book is structured around a story of three 30-somethings visiting Roy, the wealthy barber, for lessons in financial planning. Each chapter of the book describes a different visit and a different element of financial planning. Each month along with their lesson the three students are required to start carrying out the actions prescribed by Roy. In addition to these individuals, Roy also shares his financial knowledge with the customers of his barber shop.
The story is set primarily in Sarnia, Ontario, where Roy has been operating a barber shop for several decades. As a young man, Roy had planned to become a lawyer, but those plans are derailed. He ends up taking over his father's barber shop. Worried about money, Roy visits Mr. White, one of the the town's wealthiest men, and asks for advice on financial planning. This advice paves the way for Roy's accumulating wealth.
