5.0 out of 5 stars Good advice for a changing economy, July 13, 2009
By Ann Logue (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
People are fed up with banks, for good reason: too many banks have behaved irresponsibly, looking to milk as much money out of customers in as short a period as possible rather than build a long-term relationship. And, in this economy, many people are finding themselves in need of a loan from family and friends. This book sets out all the different ways that people can lend money to each other to make money (anonymous peer to peer lending sites), help those in need help themselves (microfinance), and borrow money from relatives without destroying family relationships. This is a great guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro. to a fasinating type of lending, April 13, 2009
Social lending is an amazing alternative to big bankers! Why not avoid the high fees and rates of banks and save by borrowing money from family and friends? Plus, if you want to loan money, you can typically earn a much greater rate of return than you can with CDs. It's a win-win!

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, knowledgeable and well-written, April 14, 2009
The author provided a clear and concise review of the topic. She delivers the info in easy-to-understand language and obviously did her homework. It's so much clearer and informative than other personal finance books on the shelves.
