Like most financial advice books, this collection covers the basics, such as creating a financial toolkit, investing, planning for retirement and saving for college. While Pulliam Weston provides insights into these areas-especially for those without a financial background-she also charts new territory with her "60 Percent Solution" and "50/30/20 Plan," both aimed at spending control, as well as getting the most out of your credit cards and what to do if you've overspent on a car purchase. An advocate of online banking, Pulliam Weston maps out the right way to pay bills and advocates account aggregation and consolidation. She also provides a useful resource guide for finding a financial planner, a tax professional and an estate planning attorney. Checklists are included in each chapter, as well as helpful charts and tables that aid in getting and staying organized. This book will be a valuable guide on the path to financial control and security. --Publishers Weekly "If you want to simplify your life and make solid decisions--fast--this book is your answer.

Is it just me or does everyone feel like a failure after reading these books? I get all excited to simplify my finances, but I'm already doing all these things and I'm still poor. This is a great basic book, full of useful information if you don't already have a good grasp of your basic financial life.

While it's a little out of date, she has some pretty good advice no matter the what the economy looks like.

This was a great overview of personal finance for beginners. I love Liz Weston's clear English approach- especially when she is explaining the ins and outs of annuities and other complex investment vehicles. In all honesty, I was familiar with a lot of her advice just from reading her MSN money articles, but I still learned several new things. I just wish I had time to implement them all!
