Waste of time and money,
This review is from: Money Clips: 365 Tips From the Simple to the Sophisticated for Making, Saving, and Investing Your Money (Paperback)
I was given this book as a graduation gift by someone who had bought it but couldn't plod through it. I can see why. It's poorly written and there's no usable information inside. Plus it's boring. So in the interest of accuracy I would rename it "365 Ways To Waste Your Time And Money."
3.0 out of 5 stars
A Solid Effort!,
This review is from: Money Clips: 365 Tips From the Simple to the Sophisticated for Making, Saving, and Investing Your Money (Paperback)
Lorraine Spurge presents a series of tips, primarily directed to novices in the business or work world, on how to make money, save it and invest it. Her section on making money deals with finding a job you like, creating a family budget and buying a house. She discusses banking basics, different investments, kids' financial training, the stock market, taxes and long-term planning. Given the writing style and the focus on the family and kids, the book seems to be primarily directed toward women who are just starting their businesses or who hold entry-level jobs. Spurge's book will seem too basic to those who were not financially born yesterday. Many of the suggestions will seem obvious or repetitive of other manuals, like career-planning books such as What Color is Your Parachute. However, if you are newly hatched and blinking wide-eyed at the bright world of financial self-sufficiency, we [...] have just the book for you.
