Author Clark Howard's goal is to make you an even more educated consumer, who knows how to spend less and save more. This books offers tips on shopping more wisely and avoiding rip-offs. He covers investments, credit cards, cars, real estate, insurance, travel, stocks and funerals. Equally helpful, at the end of the book, is a workbook with sample logs for keeping track of complaints. Mr Howard also lists Web sites and phone numbers for gathering information on services and products. Knowledge is power. This practical guidebook shows you how to protect yourself-step by step.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had read this book when I was 22, July 29, 2001

... I could have saved myself a lot of money in the past 10 years. I highly recommend this book as a gift to those young men and women in your life who are just starting out, newlyweds, new parents--anyone who could use a quick course in savvy consumer education. I enjoy Clark's radio show, and his easy, friendly style translates very well into print. Clark, this was worth every penny!

I've been listening to this guy for a couple weeks on his talk radio show. I have to say that the common principles of personal finance and consumer rights presented in this book are invaluable lessons that we were never taught in high school or college (at least I wasn't). So, if you 're interested at all, check it out--you won't be dissapointed.
