Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This is the rare financial book that's entertaining as well as informative. Whether helping individuals or couples to enumerate their personal finances, create a college fund or prepare for retirement, the Murray twins, money advisers on the Today Show, present basic advice in an easily digestible, often humorous way. According to these two financial paragons, saving for your future can be as simple as renting more movies and seeing fewer in the theater, driving cars longer and buying clothes that are less likely to go out of fashion. They also assure younger readers who are contemplating their golden years that they can achieve millionaire-status simply by saving around $60 a week, along with tips on preparing for involuntary retirement. Useful investing advice, including an in-depth description of the vagaries of money market options, round out this quick and lively must-read for financial novices. (June 27)

From Booklist
The Murray twins, professional investment advisors, with a coauthor,^B address the financial challenges facing many of the 76 million U.S. baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964.) The ultimate goal of the book is to assist readers in defining their own game of life and winning at that game. The authors help us clarify and visualize our financial destination and then provide the tools for getting there. Topics covered include organizing financial affairs, budgets, debt management, savings, and successful investing as well as planning properly for retirement, paying for children's education and supporting parents. We learn that good money management is achieved one day at a time and that evaluating the numbers is just the first step in a very personal exercise, which examines life for the "sandwich generation" as they face their retirement and the needs of their children and parents. The Murray brothers tell us, "It's really all about your life, and how you live it." An informative and understandable handbook on an important subject. Mary Whaley

5.0 out of 5 stars I Like These Guys, May 12, 2006
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading... plus it's funny!, June 26, 2006
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!

(REAL NAME)   
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!
