Gain FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE - Excellent for ANY Age!
Get A Financial LIFE: Personal Finance - This book caught my attention because I know, only too well, that most people (young and old) worry about MONEY.
Sadly, our educational institutions are virtually "bankrupt" when it comes to providing helpful advice on Money Management and Personal Finance. Even most MBA programs fall short!
As a Business & Financial Consultant for many years, mostly to Health Care Professionals, I have seen, first hand, the deep concern most people have about the health of their savings / investments / retirements / homes / jobs / professions - and with very good reason. I have also witnessed the high stress, frustration, discouragement, pain - and diminishing hope - that many have gone through, with the frail (global) economy.
Although this book is aimed more at the younger market, I see it as a 'basic guide' for ALL ages, and for many different situations.
Yes, perhaps there are some 'more sophisticated' financial strategies that could have been covered (like "becoming your own banker" - "income sprinkling" - "passive income options", etc), but they usually require some 'hands on' guidance from an expert in financial matters.
Nevertheless, whether you are single - in university - married and raising a family - in your prime career years - a professional - an entrepreneur - retired ... OR, whether you're earning $20,000/yr - $250,000/yr+ ... OR, whether you're financially savvy (or otherwise) ... it doesn't really matter, as this 352-page book (by Beth Kobliner, best-selling author and journalist) will educate and empower "anyone" to greater financial success in their life.
For example, in my practice over the years, working with mainly with Health Practitioners, who are very busy, with hectic schedules ... many are stressed out, often taking better care of their clients than they do of themselves. Also, they have paid a "huge" price, in time, effort and money (bank debts!) to receive their professional designations and certifications. These dedicated, heart-centered healers are very well trained in the CLINICAL side of their practice - but most often, the BUSINESS side - as well as their PERSONAL FINANCES - are a totally different story.
Kobliner includes common sense and sound advice that's applicable to "everyone" - on budgeting, credit, banking, investing, credit cards, ATMs, bank accounts, mutual funds, retirement savings plans, apartment renting, paying back student loans, retirement planning, home buying, insurance, taxes, tips on car loans, and more.
Without any hesitation, I give this excellent book a 5-STAR recommendation!

Very informative and thorough. Great for beginners.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is thorough but simple at the same time. It makes it easy for people with no previous education and not much experience to learn about each subject. I am attaching pictures on all of the topics that this book covers. I felt like the book was well structured and very helpful on every subject. It is the second book that I read on personal finance and I definitely learned things here I didn't learn in the other book which was more basic and easy to understand but not as detailed as this one. The book is also well made and I love the material of the cover.

I really liked how she explains the whole insurance process and many othersl scenarios suchbas 401k.
One major problem i see in this book is when it comes to the taxes chapter. The tax code have had a major overhaul with this administration and unfortunately a lot of the tax information is totally invalid. I recommend you look for tax answers elswhere.
Good book, but needs a revision specially in tax chapter
