While other books tend to get wrapped up in technical jargon leaving readers with unanswered questions, this book does the exact opposite. By tapping into the world of music, "For The Love of Money," directly correlates tax terms with melodies and rhythms using old school R&B artists and today's Hip-Hop icons. Navigating through 1040s just got easier thanks to Shannon taking the "how" and "why" approach. And, for those "blessed" folks looking to invest, here's an introductory guide for playing the Wall Street numbers game. This is a fun read. Too bad text books aren't written this way - we'd have a lot more people interested in majoring in finance and business. I definitely recommend this book!!

April 15th is a notorious date for most people. It's one that is filled with either anticipation or trepidation. There's not too much middle ground. With this date as the national tax day, each year we are faced with paying our common uncle his due. In her book, FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, Shannon Nash sets up to explain the in's and out's of taxes in a clear, yet entertaining manner. She uses practical, real world examples coupled with some of our favorite songs to help demystify an otherwise cloudy topic.

This book leaves no stone unturned - there is something for everyone! Ms. Nash does a fine job in starting with the basics of a federal tax return, the 1040, and explaining the various filing status and eligible deductions. Other items that are covered in the book are various tax topics, such as partnerships, itemized deductions, capital gains and losses as well as IRS Audits, just to name a few.

You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you do not pick up a copy of FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, even if you're a seasoned tax professional. The topics were covered in an informative manner that was clear yet humorous. The references to songs at times was a bit cumbersome, yet all in all, this was a helpful guide into an otherwise complicated topic. This is the first book I read authored by Ms. Nash, but I will look forward to future reads by this author.

Get rich or protech your millions and have fun while doing it... That's what investing and this book are all about. The 411 will take just about all readers (including those who have already been successful) "to the next level". I highly recommend it, especially the expansive Chapter 10: FAQs.
