Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Using the metaphor of a physical fitness plan, financial advisor Lorayne Fiorillo has authored a comprehensive, well-organized daily exercise program designed to "whip you into financial shape" quickly. While the workout allusions get a bit tiresome, Financial Fitness in 45 Days is nonetheless a practical, informative guide to constructing and implementing a basic financial plan. "The book doesn't get into the psychology behind how people deal with money," says Fiorillo. "Most people don't have time to psychoanalyze their financial status; they just want to improve it. Think of this book as financial behavior modification," she says.
Each workout day is devoted to a specific topic, beginning with goal setting and budgeting, advancing through investment and insurance products and strategies, then college, retirement, and estate planning. The sections on asset allocation and mutual fund investing are particularly well written. Included is a 75-page section with worksheets, tables, quizzes, crosswords, and other puzzles to help reinforce the experience and lighten the burden.
Fiorillo presents the information in a concise, easy-to-understand, and prudent way. This book may provide all the financial planning may people will ever need. For the rest, it's a good place to begin. --Scott Harrison

Financial Fitness in 45 days,
By Robert (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Fitness in 45 Days (Paperback)
I found this book very informative and helpful. It is well written and keeps you interested. It is not just a bunch of boring financial dribble. I would have given it 5 stars but there were some sections in the book that did not apply at all to me so I skipped a few chapters. Overall a good book especially for those who want to head a certain direction financially but just don't quite know how.

Getting your money matters in shape!,
By william (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Fitness in 45 Days (Paperback)
This is the best book of its kind, and, as we all know, there are thousands of books on finance and money matters available. It has Suze Ormond beat hands down. This book is informative, amusing, and well written. It deals with a topic that can at times be dry, but because of the breezy style and frequent use of personal anecdotes and quotes from other well-known financial people, this book is a fast read. One of its great features is that each chapter deals with a separate and specific topic, so that one can read the chapters out of order as one's interest dictates, or skip chapters altogether that are not of particular interest. Another excellent feature not found in other books of this kind is the workbook which allows you to assess your level of understanding. In conclusion, this woman really knows her stuff. I thought I knew a lot about money, but I knew a lot more after reading this book.

Financial Fitness in 45 Days by Lorayne Fiorillo,
By
This review is from: Financial Fitness in 45 Days (Paperback)
Lorayne's financial advice parallels that of Warren Buffet! She is adament about gaining control of your personal finances and suggests simple yet extremely effective ways to accomplish this. Her stories are as comical as witty, and to imagine this city gal off in the midst of the bucolic backwoods is as comedic a senario as on could imagine. Although I have never met her, Lorayne's vivacious personality pours out through every page and her motivation and love of finances becomes very infectious. It is my civic duty and fiduciary responsibility to implore you to take charge of your finances by leanding her an ear! Get one hell of a financial workout with her! If you seek financial freedom-this is the information that will send you sprinting to the bank, laughing all the way!
