Finding money for college doesn't have to be harder than taking the SATs.

This book shows you the formulas followed by people in the know, and breaks them down into manageable parts.

Taking a clear, concise approach to money management, the Dorling Kindersley Essential Finance Series provides a practical and impartial resource to guide you through important financial decisions. Useful questionnaires pinpoint one's financial status while easy-to-use charts and graphs help track cash flow. Cut through the complexities of financial lingo and gain the confidence needed to build real financial security.

Filled with practical advice on all aspects of money management, this series offers an excellent foundation for building a personal finance library.
