• Excellent Primer
16 November, 2008
This book is an excellent primer to learn the world of finances. It gives quite a bit of first timer information, and details where to learn more about almost any subject. Highly recommended if you are in need of serious beginner information like I was. If you consider yourself relatively knowledgeable, you might want to skip this one.

• Good Introduction For Beginners
13 August, 2009
People work hard for their money, but few have any idea of how to keep it. The author argues that no matter how much money people make, they don't know how to save, or even if they save, they don't know what to do with their savings. As a result, they and their money part ways.
This book is great toward beginners and teaches how to invest your money. The author recommends that the first $50 be invested in your bank's or credit union's savings account, or in a government bond. The first $500 should be invested in interest-paying checking accounts, money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit, treasury securities, or investment clubs. The first $5,000 should be invested in bonds and stocks. By showing readers where different amounts should be invested, the author is able to explain different investment vehicles available to investors. If you are new to investing, this book provides a good introduction.

• Worth Every Penny!
26 June, 2007
Excellent read! Very informative. I read the last edition and found this to be updated. I've read several books on investing and found this to be comprehensive because it provides specific resources & websites for ease in finding additional info on areas of interest. It really will give you a jumpstart in how you can start saving and investing wisely without paying high fees. Provides investment alternatives for people with smaller funds to get a rate of return similar to those people who can invest thouosands at a time. Easy to understand and apply these concepts.

• Great Place To Start Small And Grow!
18 February, 2008
Until I read this book, I was under the impression that you had to have a lot of money to become an investor. I knew I wanted to begin somewhere but I didn't know where.
Nancy Dunnan speaks in everyday language. I'm grateful for that. I wasn't intimidated nor did I feel overwhelmed. I felt like I could do this.
I appreciated the detailed appendices:
A. Nine Easy and Painless Ways To Save
B. Ten Steps Toward College Education
C. Scams, Swindles and Suckers
D. The Top 25 Financial Web Sites (For me, this alone was worth the price of the book)
E. If You're Fired
F. Cash in a Flash: Ten Sources of Instant Money
G. Your Next Steps
This book is great for a beginner and aimed at the small investor. It gives step-by-step and easy to understand common sense information. I now have a better grasp of investing, saving and even my own comfort level about money.
I highly recommend this book!

• Basic, Outdated
20 October, 2009
The book has some very basic information, nothing too mind boggling, although I did get a little out of it. The biggest problem is that this book is out of date for 2009. CD and Savings rates are nothing, thus putting $100 into a savings account earning .25% a year or even the top rates of around 1.5%...yea, pretty much useless.
