`You build wealth by living beneath your means. You lose money by living above your means.'

This is an informative and entertaining book about personal finance. While some of the detailed information is specific to the USA, all of the principles are universal. This book follows the adventures of four diverse students (the Counterculture Club) led by an interesting financially savvy teacher. The teacher, Mrs Kramer, agrees to mentor the students as they learn about earning money and controlling expenses. The strength of this book, in my view, is that it focuses on each of the students as individuals and recognises that each has different strengths, desires and aspirations. This book is primarily directed to those aged between 16 and 32, but there is information there useful to those of us outside that age range. Consider these four issues: getting out of debt and accumulating wealth; finding your strengths and passions and how to make a living from them; how to get ahead when the work you love does not produce a lot of money; and living a more fulfilled life. Consideration of these issues is framed in a way which should particularly appeal to Generation Y - but it isn't too late for the rest of us. The book is divided into four parts: Investing Money Saving Money Making Money Enjoying Money I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and especially enjoyed the way in which all of the participants learned from each other. This book would be a great asset to any household. Jennifer Cameron-Smith

Awesome Book

This book was great. The material, ideas amd methods were all laid out in an easy to understand and entertaining fashion. I really enjoyed every second of the book. Gained alot of knowledge and insight into areas otherwise confusing to me. A must read for anybody getting ready for colledge.

A Must Read!

I love this book! Investment advice is necessary, but Steve proves that it doesn't have to be boring. This book is a real page turner, with its superb layout and must-have information. I can't wait to put into practice everything that I've learned!

Very insightful!

This book is wonderfully refreshing in its approach to the reader. A great read - well written. Very insightful. Highly recommended for individuals of all financial standings. Would make a great graduation gift for both students entering and exiting college!

Amazingly Informative and Fun to Read

This book provided me with an amazing insight into many different areas of personal finance. The author covers every topic from saving and investing money to making and enjoying money; and better yet, the book is written in an exciting and fun to read format that won't bore you or become a chore to read. I've read...eh tried to read...many other personal finance books, and I'm sure a lot of them had very good information in them; however, they were not engaging enough to get through, and so I wasn't able to gleam most of that good information. This book was different though. With each page I found myself more and more engaged, and before I knew it I had read the whole book, taking a wealth of financial knowledge with me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, regardless of how much you may or may not know about personal finance. Everyone could take something away from this book. I especially recommend this book to anyone in high school or college, because when it comes to learning about finances, the sooner the better. I personally read the book as a college student, and while other personal finance books for me can sometimes make the concepts of personal finance complicated to understand, the author of this book made the world of personal finance very easy to understand on my level. This is why I think this book would be especially great for any teen or young adult out there trying to get a head start on their financial future.
