In terms of getting organized and taking control of your financial responsibilities, this is virtually certain to be the most important single book you will ever read. It will literally save you a fortune and zero out financial stress forever. The simple changes I have adopted because of this book have made a world of difference in my family finances.

I am not only making this my personal financial handbook, I am teaching my children Cheryl Hosking's system. She has done all the research and testing. You just have to adopt her system. It not only works like a charm, it is easy to stick with the program. The book includes the exact information, including the tracking forms I needed to get painlessly organized.

This book rates an A+++. It takes the pain out of a normally painful task. There is no fluff or hype here. The book is well designed, concise and eminently practical.

If you only buy one book this year, do yourself or someone you love a huge favor and make this the book. It's that good and it's that valuable.

At 38, I realized I had gone from my father handling my finances, to my husband handling them. I was too overwhelmed and scared to get any control for myself. Ms. Hosking's book helped make me comfortable with being in charge of my own finacial future. The "Get To It Budget Book" is easy to understand, and a great way to help you get ahead of debt. Thanks to it, I am thriving on a part time income! Highly recommended for anyone!

I am a college student. My parents gave me a copy of this book to help me manage my finances. This book is terrific. It is concise and to the point. It provides the system and formats needed to keep track of things. I invested less than an hour of reading and now I have a rock solid personal financial plan. I know exactly where my money is going.

This book focuses on exactly what is needed. It really works.

This is the best book anyone has ever given me.

Thanks.

At 35 and watching the world in financial crisis I decided to do something about my own financial budget. I needed help getting started and organized. I am just digging my way out of being in deep debt and I don't want to use credit cards any more. I want to be financially able to pay for stuff in cash by saving up for it. I went through high school and missed one very important thing and that was them teaching me life skills. I learned what I needed to to get into college but not how to budget my money. No more living from paycheck to paycheck. Thank you Cheryl Hosking for writing "Get to it! Organizational Solutions For Everyday Life... Budget Book." It has changed my financial future for the better. I recommend this book to everyone young and old to please buy this book and save your financial future. Get on track and you be in control of your money. Quit living from paycheck to paycheck and save for the fun things in life. God Bless.

My family has been using the Get-To-It Budget book for over two years...and what a difference it has made! It's a budgeting method that is detailed enough so all our basic bills are accounted for but remains flexible to allow for unforeseen expenses. I've tried the spreadsheets and the computer programs, but I still found myself constantly stressed out trying to plan for EVERY possibility--just try budgeting for how many times your child might get invited to a birthday party or the emergency haircut due to the fact that trimming your own bangs wasn't such a great idea after all. My family knows at a glance from the whiteboard Spending Tally how much we have at any given moment and can make our spending choices accordingly...without having to revisit a detailed spreadsheet or recalculate our entire monthly budget. We've found this to be the one thing in this method that has given us the greatest sense of control. It's a system that is so simple to put into place and maintain, that at first I thought, "Wait? It can't be this easy?" But you know what? It is!

This book is terrific! If it can help a person like me with a budget it can work for anyone. I can't say enough about this book. It's a great investment to help everyone.

not so great. I LOVED the old skool BUDGET KIT book, which you can get on Amazon for 36 cents, which i first found at the library. i saw this title when searching for the other and thought it looked simple and fun. the budget sheets are not full size (the font could be larger) and rather than recording all expenses, which most methods suggest, the author recommends GAME, groceries, misc and extra. this makes no sense to me. this is a little too novel. i splurged on this purchase and just wanted to others to know my feelings..............since I was grossly misleaded by the reviews. get the 36 cent one you will be happy

Excellent, simple easy plan to follow. Simplicity can be wonderful and it is done in easy to ready (actually enjoyable) and fun format.

Calculators(websites that you can go to listed in the book)that help you see your goals is a wonderful tool.

This is a pretty good budgeting book for those who have never sorted out their finances before. It really helped me get organized without making me feel like an idiot for not knowing how to balance my check book or create a budget (always a plus!)

I just wish I had made copies before writing in the book. The list of monthly bills organized by week is very helpful; to see WHEN your money is going out, now just how much, but there is only one sheet like this in the entire book. 3 weeks later I needed to update it because I had changed a few dates and added a new bill. no can do. wish this book came with a Cd to print out additional forms.

4 stars because there is room for improvement.

Get to It! Budget Book: A Fresh Start to Personal Finances to Help You...Get Organized! Get Control! & Get on With Your Life! Just what I needed holds more information, such account numbers, APR, and give you a great action plan to follow. Now I can claim I am following a budget.
