Author and member of the "Gen X Generation", James Denton's The X $eries: The Money Guide With Gen X Appeal is a compact money guide tailored specifically to appeal to America's Generation X, with a "don't beat around the bush, cut to the chase" approach to teaching how to manage and invest money in the new millennium. The X $eries is a "how to" and "why to" book for people who hate to balance their checking accounts, let alone an investment portfolio, and offers strategies to make your money work for you without constantly bean-counting to make sure you're in the black. Written in plain, ordinary language with a friendly, entertaining atmosphere and the occasional black-and-white picture of energetic men and women, The X $eries is truly a financial book that anyone and everyone from any generations can read, enjoy, and soundly understand. An excellent and highly recommended introduction to the art of in-vestment.

Whether a Gen Xer or not, you will not put this book down. The author presents real practical solutions for those who are living paycheck to paycheck, overwhelmed by debt and not saving or investing for their retirement. At last a better system for planning personal finances for those who hate budgets. Also, by using the tips on "Negotiation-the art of asking", I recently saved ... on an appliance purchase. The X-notes at the end of each chapter provide great summaries to refer back to later. Anyone who reads this book will come away with at least one valuable and easy to implement idea.
