"Great book for those who want an insightful and easy read on finances!"
This is one of the greatest books I have read regarding finances! I really enjoyed that the author engaged the reader. It's just as the book says: "A CONVERSATION about income, wealth, and the steps in between." You really feel as if you are there talking to the author (not to mention the pushy sales guy: Gary). I really enjoyed the book and it was very helpful and informative for me. I am now saving money, working towards paying off my credit cards, and am working on some investing. This is surely a must have for anyone that wants to start living BEYOND paycheck to paycheck!

"Start your journey with this book !!!!"
If you are like me, the thought of making a financial plan seemed like an overwhelming task and did not know where to start. Michael Rubin's book not only gets you to the starting line, but empowers you to start the journey. For example, have you ever looked at your paycheck wondering where the money went (taxes, healthcare, 401k)? This book breaks that down and allows you to understand and better yet plan for these items. However, the best part is that Michael Rubin writes in a conversational manner that is as witty as it is informative. This non-text-book approach makes learning fast, fun and very easy to understand. I have also found the reference material and companion website also very informative. Do yourself a favor - start with this book!

"A "must-read" for college students"
Certified public accountant and financial planner Michael B. Rubin presents Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck: A Conversation About Income, Wealth, and the Steps in Between, a guide for anyone who lives from paycheck to paycheck but seeks more financial stability in their lives. Chapters cover the difference between being cheap and being fiscally responsible, strategies for paying off one's expensive bad debt, coping with taxes, how to properly use insurance, maximize one's investment performance, basic estate planning, and much more. Written in plain terms for readers of all backgrounds, Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck spells out financial common sense and is a "must-read" for college students and others managing own money for the first time, as well as for anyone seeking to break out of the voraciously desperate paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.

"Valuable Advice"
"Total Candor" lives up to its name: a straightforward discussion of the fundamental financial issues most people face in their lives. Well worth the read!

"I was expecting a lecture or sales pitch ..............but received some wisdom instead"
Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck provided invaluable lessons on basic financial topics that everyone assumes you know, but in reality may not. What's even better, this fun, well-organized, informative book is told from the perspective of someone concerned with helping you help yourself, NOT from someone trying to sell you something -- which had previously been my experience. Mr. Rubin's insights and easy to implement strategies will put financial novices on a much surer financial footing, and will empower them to make the choices necessary to create wealth -- not forcing them to rely on people interested in selling them something. A great read that had me laughing and learning throughout.
