5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for taking financial control,
By A Customer
This review is from: Personal Financial Planning (Hardcover)
I had to purchase this book for a university course I once took (several editions earlier). This book is a great resource for taking you through the personal financial planning process. This book may seem a bit intimidating but if you want personal financial success, it is worth going through the book. It will take you step by step on how to achieve your financial success. This is the best textbook I have ever purchased.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb Introduction to Financial Planning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Personal Financial Planning (Hardcover)
I bought this book for a non-credit Financial Planning class at Florida State. I didn't stick with the class, but I'm keeping the book. It seems to cover just about everything anyone except a financial professional could ever need to know about the financial planning process. If there's a downside to the book, it's that it reads like a textbook; HOWEVER, that's what it is. AND, being a GOOD textbook, the writing is clear and understandable.Anyone who would order this book should know that I received an e-mail today (February 24) from the instructor of the intro class at Florida State, making reference to a ninth edition. The instructor did not specifically mention this book by name. However, since [Amazon.com] is showing the eighth edition as of February 24, it may be safe to assume that this is the book the instructor was referring to.

Everyone needs Personal Finance guidance,

This review is from: Personal Financial Planning (Hardcover)
I find this book well worth the money, especially for young people just starting out, like college grads. This also is great for high schoolers because it teaches basics in checkbook and savings, investing, and other good pointers that many young adults never hear otherwise.
