Reviews for Personal Finance For Dummies

- 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: 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.
- 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: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Eric Tyson has written a great introduction to personal finance. I have first read his book after I have graduated from college. Now, almost four years later, most of the information is still relevant. This is a great book if you are new to personal finance. Tyson goes over how to save, manage debt, investment, financial products to avoid, picking right financial advisor, and etc. The 2003 edition I read had shown sign of its age by advocating real estate investment as one ways of building wealth. To be fair to Tyson, he did pointed out the many pitfalls of real estate investment. I really like Tyson's attitude toward personal finance(eg. don't keep up with the jonese and etc.) Overall, this is a great book, I will r-eread it again in the future.
