User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars okay but really for dummies
This book is really basic. So if you know anything about finances you should go with a more advanced book. The resources and websites are really useful, but if you need this book than you probably better off taking it out of your library than purchasing it if you get my drift.
5 Stars Comprehensive!
Big book full of sound financial advise. Oh, to be disciplined enough to follow it.
5 Stars Managing Your Money for Dummies - Must Have!
This book is exactly what I was looking for. I really like that this is a collection of 7 books, covering a number of topics. I needed a guide to help me with my personal finances- how to save, how to spend, and managing a personal budget. There is a lot of other great advice in here, including tips of managing your credit, determining how to save for the things you want and need, and how you can have a better relationship with money, creating a positive experience in money management as opposed to the stress many people feel when they manage their finances. I think this book is a must have!

2 Stars Maybe good for dummies?
I bought this book to help educate my significant other about the world of money and where they are going. After I cracked it open on a few different chapters, I realized that this book is pretty high level overview and restates common sense. It has very little detailed info on any of the topics and it reads almost as a 700 pages long “would be nice todo list” with almost no “how-to manual”.
You may use it as a reference which forces you to go online and research a topic there in more detail, but then what is the point of the 700 page book?
Added chapters about doing things like banking, financial planning etc online is another mentioning of what normal people already know, and probably wont help you much unless you lived in a cave for the past 15 years and completely missed out on the internet phenomenon.
I will return this book and look for something better on the topic.
