Book Description

April 3, 2000
"Are you taking a financial nap?" asks the author of the national bestseller The Money Diet, in her savvy and reassuring new guide to managing personal finances.

In Wake Up and Smell the Money, Ginger Applegarth draws on her years as a financial planner and media personality to guide readers through the often daunting money hurdles we face across the six seasons of our financial lives. Using real-life, sometimes humorous client examples and truly idiotproof charts and worksheets, Applegarth shows you how to:
stop worrying about the past and choose the right investment strategy to achieve wealth right now
save for retirement even if you also have to save for your children's college expenses
stop marital disputes over money using Ginger's "No Argument Plan" for couples
. . . and much more

Whether you're starting out or starting over, building up or scaling back, Wake Up and Smell the Money is the wake-up call you need to put your financial life on the front burner.

5.0 out of 5 stars "WAKE UP..." ROCKS! APPLEGARTH IS THE KING OF WORLD!, April 19, 1999
By A Customer
This book is about to change my life...dramatically! Ms. Applegarth delivers a fresh, compelling approach to a subject that is covered endlessly and in general, inadequately. Although I have admired Virginia's advice on broadcast television, it is by definition a medium for sound bites. Here is a chance to listen to this extraordinary woman as she drills down into her subject and offers smart and truly practical advice for making and managing one's money. In case it isn't clear, I LOVE THIS BOOK. With boundless respect and admiration, LAA
