Amazon.com Review:
A clear and practical manual covering the complexity and frightening reality of affording retirement. Want to know how an IRA works? The advantages of a 401(k)? A defined contribution plan? A bypass trust? A reverse mortgage? How to plan your estate? How do you plan for your health care costs? If your head is swimming by now, you should get this book and it will all make sense, and you will be able to retire comfortably.
Disappointingly out-of-date:
Very simplified introduction to financial basics for beginners, but needs updating---no mention of Roth IRAs, new tax laws, etc. Might be a good book for teenagers to start with!
For all college grads, grab this book! it makes sense:
I wish there would be a follow up to this title in particular to play catch up. I actually got my hands on this 6 years ago at a near by TARGET store next to DU. This book is a brilliant piece of an eye opener for anyone leaving the academic world and starting a new life. It gives very simple factoids and ideas about what can b done in home economics and personal finance etc. if any1 know of a follow up to this title or something similar please let me know.
