Customer Reviews

Best financial book for visual learners

Whether you are a left brained or a right brained, understanding the big picture in finances is a key to achieve big wealth. I am sort of a visual learner. I don't particularly like reading thick books with detailed info. It reminds me of those bookworms & CPAs with thick glasses :) I was always scared of accounting & finances until I found this book which makes all the boring financial stuff extremely interesting & easy!! I highly recommend this book.

A must-have for anyone befuddled by personal finances

From the first page to the last, this book not only offers to-the-point lucid descriptions but performs that task in an entertaining way.

Excellent, easy read for all the financial info you need

This book explains complicated financial information in an easy-to-understand format. I use this book for my tax clients to help them understand issues involved with obtaining a mortgage, understanding mutual funds and investing, and how to save money for retirement. Even if you shy away from financial issues because they are boring, you'll love this book. It gives you the same information a long boring book gives you in simple, easy-to-understand examples you will relate to. You don't even have to read the entire book. It's like a finanical library, pick out the topic that interests you and read it to learn what you need to know in just a few minutes. I love the part on insurance, explains all the things no one ever taught me. The part on investing cleared up questions I've wondered about. My clients love it. If you are in business, it makes a nice thank you gift for clients. They are really impressed with the book.

Best Book on personal finance, great for right-brainers too.

This is the best book on personal finance I have ever seen. The books cuts out all the boring financial stuff and you are left with the 'gems' of what you really need to know to manage your money. It starts with the "big picture" and explains in terms everyone can understand. Highly reccomended for a graduation gift for high school or college or as a wedding gift. Wish I had known all this when I was younger. Even simplifies taxes. No household should be without it
