Summary: Much Too Superficial -- Money Is Not Like a Bad Hair Day
Review: Tried it. Didn't like it's overly cute tone. The author says that managing money is like coping with a bad hair day. That was my first indication that this author didn't have a clue. I've been trying to pay off my college credit card debt for over two years now and not making much progress (and this book did not help).

Getting back to the author's hair analogy: With a bad hair day you can at least wake up the next day with an entirely new, and more attractive, hairdo. Unfortunately, if you're having a bad money day, I know from experience that you're probably also having a bad money month and probably a bad year or more. You can't just go to bed and wake up with your money problems solved. I wish it did work that way but it doesn't. It's too bad that the author doesn't know at least that basic fact about money.
