This book is very good. Some of the stuff in the book is very basic, but is does expand into deeper into investments and even offers some good suggestions.

This book is easy to read (even funny sometimes) and gives straightforward advice on just about every area of personal finance the average needs to know about. Very well laid out, easy to find what you want. I read it cover to cover, but you can also just go to the sections that you are most interested in and it will still make complete sense (he will also refer you to other areas if you want more detail or info on related topics).
Great for anyone interested in, or concerned with ... Read More

Good book for someone who does not have a basic understanding of finance. Written in simple and straight forward language. The range of topics is very good-there are no excursions into complex concepts. This book, if the reader desires, would enable one to pursue more complex issues. I have a large family with varied backgrounds and education. I bought the book to determine if it would take care of knowledge gaps in several of the family members. The book will take care of my requirement.

This book gets high marks for completeness and for its regular updates. It has remained on the retail bookshelves for many years now and competes well in terms of overall value against other personal finance publications. It lackes the multi-media support of Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey but offers excellent value.
