5.0 out of 5 stars Timely insights, May 5, 2002

By	Chris Flynn (London, England) - See all my reviews

When you reach your mid-fourties you tend to think you've sorted out finances. On a lay-over in Chicago I started flipping through the copy of Complete Idiot's Guide to personal finance that a friend had loaned me. I quickly started to realize that there were a number of key areas regarding personal debt load where I'd not paid enough attention. The timely insights regarding the danger of excessive credit card balances made me realize that my dream of a nice cabin by a lake would have to wait. Much thanks to Sarah Young and Susan Shelly for this easy to understand guide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, February 27, 2009

By	Realtor/Storyteller/Author "Shahri" (Incline Village, NV United States) - See all my reviews

This book assumes you have a dependable income. It also assumes you have already been putting money away. It gives no hope to those who run their own business and have not started saving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable resource, May 1, 2002

By A Customer

With 401K's at work, college funds, and the banks advising you on various investments, personal finance can be truly overwhelming. This book sorts it all out and explains options in an easy to understand format. I found it to be a most valuable resource for my future financial planning. Mid-life is hard enough...this book just made it easier!
