Personal Finance for Dummies offers sound and practical advice for those who want to get control over their personal financial lives. Author Eric Tyson points out the most common mistakes that we all make in our approach to money and prescribes ways to save and invest for a secure future. Using worksheets, the book helps you to measure your own financial health by looking at factors such as how much debt you carry, your savings rate, as well as investment and insurance checkups. The book looks at how you should invest your retirement account, approach taxes, and provides a good overview on how to buy real estate.

 Pretty good book. November 28, 2008
Peter M. K. Gaines
I like the book, but wish it were less repetitive. I think that Andrew Tobias' book, The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, is more succint. I wish that he would update it given the new state of the economy. 3-4 years makes a huge difference in tax laws.
 Great book November 24, 2008
C. Lavelle (Indiana)
Ok...so I'm a smart guy, but the in's and out's of the financial world always seemed more like Harry Potter's dark arts class than something that would ever make sense to me. I'm happy to report that this book does a fantastic job laying it all out in a way that makes perfect sense. I now have greater confidence in assessing my financial options, which is all anyone really needs. I recommend this book strongly.
Good Book - Can't wait to pass it on November 19, 2008
Marcia D. Perry (Los Angeles)
This is such a great book, I will probably by a copy for my eighteen year old sister. The book provides valuable information that is valuable at any age, but even better if she can learn now. Great practical tips on debt management, saving, budgeting retirement, etc.
Great tool for personal purposes. October 2, 2008
Sofi (Puerto rico)
It's just amazing. Every other theme not too well understood is explained with clarity. Website references are a plus. If you have no idea of most financial concepts, what they mean and how to understand them this is a good starter tool.
