5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a book about finances that is actually fun to read., July 3, 2008

Burkett takes a humorous approach to finances that makes total sense. I have even caught myself laughing out loud at many of his poignant remarks. Anybody that has more than $100 should read through this book to avoid some of the financial pit-falls that so many of us fall into. If you have already fallen into a pit, this book is full of great advice for getting out . I wish I had found this book about 10 years ago.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid book, but not quite everything I hoped, August 10, 2001

This book is filled with sound pratical financial advice!!

I was a little dissapointed that some of the sections were a little to broad. There is so many topics covered that I am sure that it was hard to put in all the information that they wanted to.

My second complaint is that it is not christian enough. There are not as many references to the bible of wanted. Larry burkett has another book, How to manage your money that is more along that line.

Overall, this is a solid book, and provided me with lots of great info ranging from budgeting, buying a car, investing, retiring, and more.
