About the Author

Ben Stein can be seen talking about finance on Fox TV news every week. He is known to many as a movie and television personality, but has probably worked more in personal and corporate finance than anything else. He has written about finance for Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal for decades and contributes regularly to the AARP’s Modern Maturity (now AARP: The Magazine). He was one of the chief busters of the junk bond frauds of the 1980s, has been a long-time critic of corporate executives’ self-dealing, and has written several self-help books about personal finance.

...there really are only a few simple rules to getting along in this world. Plus, some people need to be told the same thing several times in several different ways just to grasp a new concept. My copy is going straight to the shelves on my high school classroom's library.

There are 2 versions of this title on the market. One is just the first book in this series entitled "How to Ruin Your Life."

The other includes 3 titles under one cover:

"How to Ruin Your Life"

"How to Ruin Your Love Life"

"How to Ruin Your Finanancial Life"
