Superb All-in-One Personal Finance Guide

I am an equity investor with an academic MBA-Finance stamp on my resume. While I have read and continue to read books on accounting and equity valuation, I was searching for an overall money management/personal finance guide. To appreciate this book you have to understand its purpose. Simply put, if you are making money by valuing firms and investing in securities, and want to step back for a bit and 'value' your own personal financial situation, this is the book for you. The author's give a wonderful introduction to the book by saying that there are a ton of personal finance books that come out every month - how true! They combine a lot of the good stuff from the tons of titles out there and put their own spin to it. This title is highly recommended. My sanity has already been pushed by reading advanced accounting and corporate finance books and I would much rather this title on personal finance than 'go over the edge' by reading the hundreds of books on personal finance.

Money well spent

I absolutely loved this book. It was a required book for a personal finance course I took at when I was a freshman in college. It along with another required book The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley, William D. Danko, really helped me put saving and investing money in a new perspective. It is true that the book could have been a little more in depth and I don't agree with their take on debit cards, but all in all it is a good starting point for anyone who would like to better manage their money, or anyone who needs a little help getting their finances in order. It offers practical advice that you can put into use immediately to help you get back on the right track.
