Summary: A Primer on Common Sense Investments and Financial Info
Review: If ever there were a standard primer for financial information, my vote would be this book. What a wonderful gift this book wouldmake for a newly married couple, or even a daughter who has just graduated high school or college. A son, too for that matter! Assomeone who has never had much extra money, I just recently graduated from college and am now pursuing full time employment, I knowthat when I begin bringing in that second income, that I will want to have some education on what to do with it. I bought this book for that purpose.It is a basic information book that provides vital facts and figures to anyone needing advice in regards to insurance, 401K, stocks, bonds, retirement and ect.For someone who has just a limited knowledge of these topics, this book will be a Godsend. A child could read and understand the concepts presented in this book.It gives resources for more information as well. Pick up this book and you will expand your financial horizons! The book is written in a very casual, witty and motherly type fashion.It will make you warm and fuzzy! And perhaps even fatten your wallet

Summary: Not as great as it sounds
Review: The book offers basic information on how to invest and save money, but, that's all it does. The book is more appropriate for someone at a later stage of their life, and for someone who has no idea how one should save or invest money. If you already know the basic information about investing, then this book is not for you.
