recommends it for:
20-somethings, people on their own for the first time, people who feel broke
I really liked this book because...well, I think that even if you only learn one thing from a personal finance book, it's been worth your time to pick it up. And if you ENJOY reading it, then it's totally worth it. I enjoyed the author's tone and style and found the advice realistic and straightforward. The segments by Jim Cramer were especially compelling, but it was Farnoosh's no-bullshit observations and advice that make me want to recommend this book to all my 20-something friends who don...more

This is a good book for people in their twenties and the beginning of their careers. The chapters are well organized and there are a lot of great websites referenced. I would follow this book up with one of David Bach's Finish Rich books.

Great little refresher with decent investing tips. Easy to read (written by a 28 yr old) and touched on a broad range of financial topics...downside is that because it covered so many things, there was little depth to each topic.
