The material presented in this book covers a broad range of financial issues anyone can understand. This book is universal, and is relative to everyday business in your personal and business lives of today and what to plan for tomorrow. I give it an A+!

Summary: Thank you for helping me Manage my Money!
Review: The book doesn't go into much depth about anything really and is a very basic look at managing your money. They give worthless tips like don't go into credit card debt because you will have to pay it off forever and other useless, common sense tips everyone knows. Read it if you want some definitions but don't expect anything important to come of it.

Summary: If You Know Nothing About Financing; Start Here...
Review: This has the basic knowledge need to manage your finacing ranging from simple budgeting, credit, stocks and mutual funds, Certificate of Deposit, how to read the market and the prime rate and what it all means. Also, it provides the mental mindset you need to manage and spend money properly, without resorting to short term spending splurges. There's tables for calcuating college funds, morgages, and retirements but most importantly how to avoid the many traps and scams many vendors use to make money off of you without providing any extra services. The one thing I found somewhat worrysome is the way the authors protrayed the banks and other institutions to the point of scaring the reader into being nearly paranoid of all financial instistutions. The fees these institutions charge are describe in the book with good details. A good "how to avoid pitfalls" book.
