- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5gives you an insight in personal finance , doesn't help much for different countries financial systems. As it was written keeping american finance system in mind
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Definitely a must read for everyone interested in keep their finances in order and building wealth! My generation, the millennials, need to read this!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Full of great tips and advice, but too heavily focused on the USA in terms of tax, retirement info and recommended companies. Still found it a worthwhile read and gave me useful advice overall.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful book!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5For someone who has their personal finances in order, this will be a boring and basic book. For someone who is just figuring out how to manage their finances, this is a great book. I read this book when I was feeling weighed down by our finances and debt. This book helped me think systematically about what we were doing with our finances, helped refine a plan to retire all our debt, and convinced me the need to save and invest for the future. Since I read this book, I have read a number of other books about personal finance and investing. While several of these books gave me a deeper understanding of the topics, not have contradicted what I learned in this book. Personal Finance for Dummies has all the advice I would hope a parent would pass onto their children about money. Unfortunately, a lot of parents don't know many of the things found in this book or don't think to teach their children how to effectively manage their money.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Eric Tyson has written a great intro to personal finances. This book covers basic financial information such as savings and investing, as well as in depth information on taxes, insurance and debt reduction. Tyson's tone is very conversational and not preachy at all, which makes for an enjoyable read. I think it is a must read for young people even if you think you know all there is to know about money. I didn't expect to learn a lot of new stuff and still I ended up with some useful tips that I will definitely apply to my financial life.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is an adequate "starting out" type finance book. If you already have $$ though it isn't that useful. A little to skewed towards starting your own business.
