2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly out-of-date, May 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sample Book (Hardcover)

Very simplified introduction to financial basics for beginners, but needs updating---no mention of Roth IRAs, new tax laws, etc. Might be a good book for teenagers to start with!

5.0 out of 5 stars For all college grads, grab this book! it makes sense, February 29, 2004

I wish there would be a follow up to this title in particular to play catch up. I actually got my hands on this 6 years ago at a near by TARGET store next to DU. This book is a brilliant piece of an eye opener for anyone leaving the academic world and starting a new life. It gives very simple factoids and ideas about what can b done in home economics and personal finance etc. if any1 know of a follow up to this title or something similar please let me know.
