Money 911: Your Most Pressing Money Questions Answered, Your Money Emergencies Solved

I am a financial adviser and this book is my go-to for anyone who great intro book on finances.

This is not a book you need to read from cover to cover. I think if you tried that, you would chuck the book about 1/3 of the way through. I would recommend looking up a topic you are interested in, and reading a few pages at a time. 'Loaned' this (as in they decided to keep it since it was so good) to a young adult. They said it explained things in a manner they could understand without getting bogged down in too many technical terms.

Jean Chatzky knows about money! This book is set up so that you can go directly to the topicyou're interested in and skip those you don't need OR you can read it cover to cover. Full ofup to day, spot on advice. My only problem with the book is that the publisher went CHEAP QUALITYon the interior pages of the book. The paper is rough and the typeset small, making it feeluncomfortable to read. If you're looking for good money advice, though, this book has it.

The things I like most about this book is the question and answer chapter formats and the easy to read investment tables.My daughter is a brand new Mother.. She will be returning to work in 1 month. There is a great chapter in this book re child care deductions and "Questions to ask a nanny /day care provider.."I ( as an over 50 consumer) especially loved the Retirement and "Saving and Investing " Chapters..Each of the 15 chapters deals with a different aspect of keeping your personal finances on track in these trying times ...Jean has scored a winner with this 438 page book full of financial information for all age groups ..Buy it!!

there are tons of places to get information, but this is the most comprehensive and very good with respect to the what sources you can rely on to get some good answers, tips and a good place to start with at any stage of your budget life. I would recommend that everyone have this book in their library. Coupons means you have a budget and Jean writes in such a free style that it is easy to understand.

OMG I love her. I became so addicted to her books that I can't wait for the next one. I might going to listen it again just to make sure I absorb everything she says.

This is a good reference book and even though years go by, there's lots of info that you can use and use. I bought one for a gift for my friend.

If you have no idea, are just starting out, or suddenly find a family issue about money, this is a great book. She spells out in standard Q&A format, the answers to most financial questions.
