Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
As in their first book, The Beardstown Ladies' Common-Sense Investment Guide, this lively group of ladies manages to explain in terms any layperson can understand how they have managed to outperform professional money managers since 1983 and build their retirement portfolios to enviable proportions. Folksy, funny, and filled with native money wisdom.
From Publishers Weekly
The Beardstown Ladies have gone big-time. From an Illinois river-town investment club featuring prayer, exchanged recipes and remarkably successful stock market investments, the group has parlayed its bestselling Common-Sense Investment Guide into national TV interviews on Donahue and elsewhere, scores of public appearances, receipt of star-quality fan mail and this professionally packaged sequel, with a last-page mail-in coupon for its own Beardstown Lady video feature. For building a comfy retirement nest egg, the Ladies urge all the standard stuff-"Pay yourself first," "the magic of compound interest," "dollar cost averaging" and so on-but with their own special charm and hometown persuasiveness. Individual club members attest in sometimes touching personal terms to the value of good living, sensible saving for investment and contented retirement. Included here is a wealth of source materials, checklists, financial and legal forms.

A Primer on Common Sense Investments and Financial Info,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beardstown Ladies' Stitch-In-Time Guide to Growing Your Nest Egg: Step-By-Step Planning for a Comfortable Financial Future (Hardcover)
If ever there were a standard primer for financial information, my vote would be this book. What a wonderful gift this book would
make for a newly married couple, or even a daughter who has just graduated high school or college. A son, too for that matter! As
someone who has never had much extra money, I just recently graduated from college and am now pursuing full time employment, I know
that when I begin bringing in that second income, that I will want to have some education on what to do with it. I bought this book for that purpose.
It is a basic information book that provides vital facts and figures to anyone needing advice in regards to insurance, 401K, stocks, bonds, retirement and ect.
For someone who has just a limited knowledge of these topics, this book will be a Godsend. A child could read and understand the concepts presented in this book.
It gives resources for more information as well. Pick up this book and you will expand your financial horizons! The book is written in a very casual, witty and motherly type fashion.
It will make you warm and fuzzy! And perhaps even fatten your wallet

Not as great as it sounds,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Beardstown Ladies' Stitch-In-Time Guide to Growing Your Nest Egg: Step-By-Step Planning for a Comfortable Financial Future (Paperback)
The book offers basic information on how to invest and save money, but, that's all it does. The book is more appropriate for someone at a later stage of their life, and for someone who has no idea how one should save or invest money. If you already know the basic information about investing, then this book is not for you.
