Excellent read! Very informative. I read the last edition and found this to be updated. I’ve read several books on investing and found this to be comprehensive because it provides specific resources & websites for ease in finding additional info on areas of interest. It really will give you a jumpstart in how you can start saving and investing wisely without paying high fees. Provides investment alternatives for people with smaller funds to get a rate of return similar to those people who can invest thouosands at a time. Easy to understand and apply these concepts.
Until I read this book, I was under the impression that you had to have a lot of money to become an investor. I knew I wanted to begin somewhere but I didn’t know where.
Nancy Dunnan speaks in everyday language. I’m grateful for that. I wasn’t intimidated nor did I feel overwhelmed. I felt like I could do this.
I appreciated the detailed appendices:
A. Nine Easy and Painless Ways To Save
B. Ten Steps Toward College Education
C. Scams, Swindles and Suckers
D. The Top 25 Financial Web Sites (For me, this alone was worth the price of the book)
E. If You’re Fired
F. Cash in a Flash: Ten Sources of Instant Money
G. Your Next Steps
This book is great for a beginner and aimed at the small investor. It gives step-by-step and easy to understand common sense information. I now have a better grasp of investing, saving and even my own comfort level about money.
I highly recommend this book!
This book is an excellent primer to learn the world of finances. It gives quite a bit of first timer information, and details where to learn more about almost any subject. Highly recommended if you are in need of serious beginner information like I was. If you consider yourself relatively knowledgeable, you might want to skip this one.
