Rating: Summary: Like advice from a trusted (and witty) friend Review: Reading "Got Money?" is like sitting down with a friend and chatting about money--provided that friend is funny, lively and knows nearly everything about budgeting, insurance and 401k's. Whether giving advice on getting out of debt or explaining the intracacies of investment, Wuorio shows he has done his homework, and is anxious to share that information with 20- and 30-somethings. And like a trusted friend, Wuorio doesn't claim to be the final word on any topic, but ably directs readers to useful Websites for additional information. In short, this book is what every book on financial advice should be, but most aren't: practical, direct and -- dare I say -- enjoyable reading.
Rating: Summary: VERY PRACTICAL, SMART AND HIP ADVICE Review: Wuorio offers advice on most every aspect of a person's financial profile; credit cards, cars, homes, investments --- but does so in a straight forward and humorous manner. It was actually FUN and informative to read this book and I know that I'm more armed to make smart decisions on a myriad of money choices
