Summary: Great financial tips, easy to use
Review: "The Busy Womans Guide to Financial Freedom" has really helped me get our financial planning on track. It has helped me improve the organization of my financial records as well as be realistic about how much life insurance we need. I found the college planning chapter helpful for making savings decisions for our new baby.
I especially liked the chapter where she compares budgeting to dieting. It was a humorous way of helping me find those extra dollars I need to reach our financial goals.
It's easy to follow and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: A guide for men as well
Review: I am favorably impressed by The Busy Women's Guide to Financial Freedom by Vickie L. Bajtelsmit. It is written in plain language with practical examples. For future editions, the book's title should be changed, however, because it is gender-neutral--a guide for men as well.

Summary: Great gift for college graduates
Review: Vickie Bajtelsmit's book was given to me recently as a gift and I have found it to be an invaluable reference book!

As a 24 year-old, only certain parts of the book seem to apply to me now (sections on credit cards, renter's insurance, student loans); however, I anticipate referring to it often over the coming years. In skimming the sections on buying a car or house and financing a child's education or my own retirement, I can see that careful planning will be the key to achieving what I want in life.

Bajtelsmit's book will definitely help me get a head start on life's big purchases and life's big investments. I probably wouldn't buy such a book for myself, but now that I have the book I don't think I'll need any others. If you have a soon-to-be college graduate in the family, this would make a great gift!
