This review is from: Manage Your Money and Investments with Microsoft Excel (Paperback)

If you have Microsoft Excel and you are serious about getting your personal finances in order, then this book is a MUST for your financial library. It covers a large range of personal home finance topics. Each chapter provides an understanding of the topic, along with the appropriate Excel worksheets on the accompanying CD.

If the word Excel sends shivers up your spine, have no fear. The first three chapters are devoted to explaining Excel. If you are already familiar with Excel, just skip the first three chapters.

In addition to the worksheets, there are also many calculators provided on the CD such as: Net Worth Calculator, Mortgage Points Calculator, Rent versus Buy Calculator, Mutual Fund Comparator, and many more.
