"I really enjoyed her tough-love message on finances. We all know we need to curb our spending and figure out what our "wants" vs. "needs" are. It's wise to have an emergency fund. Personally, I didn't agree with her advice on temporarily halting charitable donations until you are more financially secure. Overall it was a good book to read to get you thinking about your finances and great question and answer sections."
"I like the way she puts financil mysteries in a way I can understand. When she talks on Oprah it makes sense. My goal is to have 8 months of cushion.
I'm also now reading another of hers about wills and trusts. I ask myself: Why do people never talk about this stuff? I feel very ignorant. I want to be a better financial manager."
"This book is great for the times. I love watching her on Oprah and her straightforward get out of debt and save attitude. It is nice to have a financial leader in these times tell people 'no'. I always cringed when it came to using credit, so it is nice to have her tell you how to save it during this time. Everyone will learn something from this book. I learned why our economy went down the cracks and how it relates to me personally."
"I love this book! Orman continues to provide clear concepts and direct answers to the common financial questions in 2009.
This big font book is fast to read and easy to digest. Orman touches upon topics such as how to rescue your FICO scores, how to defer college loan payments (for those poor fellas who just graduated and can't find a job), and how to allocate your retirement portfolio.
We all know a standard financial advising boilerplate does not cover the continuum of everyone's financial situation. For those, like myself, who have an unquenchable thirst for financial knowledge, you can further your own research from the dozens of Internet links provided in this book. (Knowledge is power. Better yet, it's free knowledge with your own choosing!)
With a humble retail price of $9.99, it makes a great personal financial reference book. Highly highly recommended."
