  1. Ashley –

    Directed solely to those living in the US
    This book does have some helpful points in it for sure but I was disappointed to learn that it’s geared solely at those living in the US and so all the tips and information doesn’t relate to the way things work in Canada. Wish I had known that but ah well .

    Useless for Canadians
    All US content. Useless for Canadians

  4. From a Mum –

    This book is precise and to the point, how to handle your finance, which steps to do and what to look out for. It is a instructions book, which was clever researched, every detail you need is written for you, which website to go, where to call, what to say. It is not only good and great for beginners, it is good knowledge. It gives you ideas how to do better with your finances.

  5. Michele –

    It is a book clearly written for united states citizen. It has reference to the US labour and rent law, or the way of living of americans (eating out, mobile homes etc…) The most interesting part is the discussion about how useful it is to buy a house and what advantages and disadvantages it has. But there as well you need to adapt it to european context. If you live I europe I would not suggest it.

    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!Sincerely, Peter Arnold, CLU, CFC / Canada

  7. Marcos Vega –

    This was the perfect book for someone who usually gets bored to tears by personal finance (aka me). When I started this book, I had heard terms like 401k and Roth IRA before, but I didn’t know much if anything about them and I didn’t feel the need to learn. However, as a 25 y/o, it’s important that I become financial competent, so I picked this book after seeing it recommended several times in financial subreddits. I never expected to finish this book over my holiday vacation, but I found the content to be so straight forward that I actually felt competent instead of confused by financial jargon. I finished the book understanding where my money should go and in what order (high interest debt first, then x, y z, etc). Reading this book inspired many questions for my financial advisor, and now, I finally feel prepared and empowered to have an intelligent conversation about this subject.

  8. Bharat –

    This book repeats that you maintain a good credit score and gives reference to various websites for cross verification. Also it is focused on American policies. So an Indian reader might not be able to connect also I found most of the content very basic and repetitive.
