Since I first saw them on the Today Show, I have liked these two guys. They are very different than most financial advisors. The book makes money and investing easy to understand without "dumbing it down". I especially appreciated the section on unmarried couples. It really made sense and made me make an appointment with my lawyer.

This book should be required for all boomers! Strike that--this book should be required for all READERS!
It takes what could be a dry, technical, even intimidating subject--getting your financial house in order--and makes it informative, entertaining, even humorous! And the Murray Brothers are not afraid to disagree with each other, poke fun at themselves, or recognize that people have different priorities. But they agree on the basics: get organized, save early and often, and plan for the future.
Two for the Money inspired me to get off my butt and think long-term! It even inspired my 14 year-old son to start saving for retirement!

This is a great basic financing book that should be read by all ages, especially those just starting off who think they have lots of years to worry about retirement. It will creep up on you before you know it!

Great book!

This book explains the many facets of managing your money. It is written in a very down-to-earth format with examples that bring the concepts to life. I especially enjoy the sections where Jonathan and David debate certain investment viewpoints. The Murray's take a conservative approach to investing - this is not a get rich quick book. It is a book that should be implemented as part of a long term strategy for saving and building your net worth. It explains terms and concepts in a clear, concise and interesting format.

I think all young adults should read this book - it would be especially useful for college students. Starting early makes so much sense - although all is not lost for those of us who are late bloomers ;)

From the first page to the last, the Murray brothers wisdom is insightful, well written and interspersed with fabulous anecdotes. I could not put this down!!!Their advice is so worthwhile! I thought the book was absolutely wonderful. I am not only going to tell all my friends about it, but I bought extra copies to give out as presents - I can't think of a better or more useful one that they will ever receive - 5 stars!!!

THIS BOOK IS DELICIOUS... LIKE A PITTSBURGH STYLE RIBEYE. COVER TO COVER! (WHICH I MUST SAY ISN 'T SO BAD EITHER) VERY INFORMATIVE AND INSTRUCTIONAL. GREAT COFFEE TABLE BOOK FOR EASY ACCESS. WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME AUTOGRAPHED COPIES FOR FAMILY MEMBERS. WHEN WILL YOU BE IN NORTH FLORIDA?

I have listened to the advice of these brothers before and have not found it to be helpful. The advice they offer is redundant and can be found elsewhere. There are many more interesting books available such as a Random Walk...and Winning the Losers Game.
