"Very informative and helpful; odd section on saving money"
This book is pretty informative and gives helps guide you on preparing your finances. It talks about a lot of pitfalls to watch out for, and gives you some straight opinions on employer retirement plans and debt management, as well as some thoughts on good debt vs. bad debt.

The only problem I have with it is the section on cutting costs. It is a little out of place and some of the recommendations on how to save money are a little bizarre and out there. Shaving your head to save money on hair supplies and taking naps at home for vacation instead of going away got a raised eyebrow from me, as did his belief that you have to be a small business or nonprofit to get a Costco membership. He also talks about giving up meat as a possible avenue for cost savings (because it costs a lot).

Like I said, the rest of the book seems to have sound financial guidance. The section on saving money?

Take it with a grain of salt.

"a must-have for kids on their way to college"
If you have a kid going off to college, make sure they read this. It is simply the most valuable book they will ever read. And don't forget to get one for yourself. There's a lot of time-worn wisom in this book that most people are ignorant of.

"This book was OK at best"
I would not recommend this book. It is very short sighted. For a more in-depth look into proper financial planning, I would look elsewhere. If you are starting out new in financial planning take a look at this book for the budgeting part. Then look elsewhere for the other parts.

"Great for those with a slightest interest in the subject!!!"
This book was great! I didn't know anything about keeping a budget, investment, savings or any related topic. I couldn't put the book down, but I think that was beucase I was very excited to learn about the topic (but if your looking at this book, you may be to)And like all For Dummies books you don't have to read it cover to cover, there all designed so if you all ready know whats going on and just need to brush some stuff up, or dont know anything but are only interested in certain parts you can flip right to those and not miss a beat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

"Good one for Beginners..."
Its a good book..Iam still reading it..finding it very useful..must for all the dummies out there!!!

What our customer's say!

"Pretty good book.", I like the book, but wish it were less repetitive. I think that Andrew Tobias' book, The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, is more succint. I wish that he would update it given the new state of the economy. 3-4 years makes a huge difference in tax laws.

"Great book", Ok...so I'm a smart guy, but the in's and out's of the financial world always seemed more like Harry Potter's dark arts class than something that would ever make sense to me. I'm happy to report that this book does a fantastic job laying it all out in a way that makes perfect sense. I now have greater confidence in assessing my financial options, which is all anyone really needs. I recommend this book strongly.

"Good Book - Can't wait to pass it on", This is such a great book, I will probably by a copy for my eighteen year old sister. The book provides valuable information that is valuable at any age, but even better if she can learn now. Great practical tips on debt management, saving, budgeting retirement, etc.

"Great tool for personal purposes.", It's just amazing. Every other theme not too well understood is explained with clarity. Website references are a plus. If you have no idea of most financial concepts, what they mean and how to understand them this is a good starter tool.

"Personal Finance for Dummies", Thought the book brought things to light I knew that I was in trouble this book just made me see more clearly how to try to fix things.

"Do you live in the US?", If you do then the book is fine. If you don't you'll find that many of the advices given take for a fact that you do live in the US.
I also find the book a little bit too basic. Like a bunch of conservative advices on how not to waste your money. There are also some other interesting advices so, generally, the book is OK.

"Wonderfully Practical", What a wonderful book. I'm 28. When I was younger I received little financial advice from my parents beyond: you should save. But no advice as to how to do that, especially when circumstances in life require you to take on a certain amount of debt. At that point, what I never knew was, when there are ten pots I'm supposed to be putting money into, which one comes first? What do I do with bad financial karma I created as an idiot in college? And to top it off, what about the pipe dreams of a home ownership and retirement?

Tyson's book answered my questions and more. The book starts by having you take stock of where you're at and how to deal with your present circumstances, moves on to creating goals, and then goes about the task of fulfilling them. Through it all he helps lay the basic groundwork for a fundamental education in financial principles and terminology which should be required course for any high schooler and yet...isn't.

This book will probably become annual reading for me every tax season as I examine what I did and where I'm going. If you're like me and suffer a lot of confusion and doubt as to your own financial situation or how to set and fulfill goals for your money, this is the book you want.

"Great book. Lots of suggestions.", I've had this for a while now and have loaned it to a few people. A very well written book. I hate books where the author thinks you know a ton of stuff going in, even though they are 'beginner' books. This one is written in easy to understand language, yet in a smart way. I'm not sure if there is a newer release, but the one I have is very good. As with most advice, though, you have to use what you can. If more people read this and used some of the advice, there would be a lot less credit problems now a days. The best advice is don't buy with credit--if you don't need it today, save up and buy it. If you can afford the payments, you can afford the savings even more.

"Very basic info", This book offers really basic info. I suppose the title should be a dead give away. If you are not in debt, and are trying to figure out better ways to manage your money and make it work harder for you then this is really not the book for you.

"Possibly the most helpful book I've ever read.", This book was definitely not what I expected, I wanted a book to teach me how to manage my finances better, what I actually got was a book which reinforced the concept that some things are far more important than money. Seriously - this book is full of advice which puts money square in its place, that is to say way down the list on what is important in life.

I found it very helpful and I related to the authors sense of values, this book teaches the all important lesson that your worth as a person or how "successful" you are has nothing to do with how much money you make, you physical appearance or quality of clothing. The paragraph entitled `Teaching what kind of values?' on page 394 is worth the price of the book alone.

It has good common sense advice on many things that I wouldn't have expected, for example there is a paragraph called Eliminating Costly Addictions, which advocates giving smoking, drinking and gambling the kick...

"Don't gamble. The house always comes out ahead in the long run. Why do you think so many governments run lotteries? Because governments make money on people who gamble, that's why."

Wealth really is more than how much money you have... money and your career are just means to an ends, working doesn't make anybody happy, spend as much time as you can doing what you love with those you love instead of turning into a workaholic.
