This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn basic principles about money management including estate planning and retirement.

PLANNING FOR YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE is well organized, easy to read and understand! The authors explain and illustrate good examples of worksheets for each topic; the book also includes additional blank worksheets in the back of the book.

Other topics include: housing, insurance (car, life, and medical), stock market, transportation, retirement, estate planning, etc.

A disk is included with sample template files to enable the user to prepare numerous worksheets using EXCEL. Examples of templates: budget, income statement, balance sheets, future value of money, loan payments, estate planning.

My students (Ages 17 and up--even older adults)love this book because of its importance to their personal lives and their financial future. They never return this book to the bookstore during "buyback"; they tell me that they will keep it as a great resource. I AGREE!

In any economic environment, but especially in today's turbulent economy, this guide helps with the nuts-and-bolts aspects of financial planning. It really helped me to consider valuable information, from saving to investing. The book provides excellent worksheets, which are very practical and can be applied to many situations. It's written in clear prose, so although it's on a dry topic, the author is clear and concise.

The book isn't bad... a little dry, but fairly easy to understand and gives you some good tips about financial planning, etc.

I payed for a 3 bus. days shipping and did not get it in that time. That didn't help my first week of school. The book said New, it was not even shrunk wraped. The new books come with a workbook, makes me wonder how new this book is.
