Very basic advice on personal finance (if it's on your ass, it's not an asset, save more, etc.) from "Big Mama," an African American woman's grandmother.

The only thing that made it unique was that it addressed some class issues that don't normally come up in personal finance books - such as what to do when your extended family comes to live with you, and your financial obligations to help your extended family members.

A smart savy financial guide for just about anybody. It is a need or a want? Do you have enought for retirement? Singletary offers a unique perspective and gives ideas on how to be thrifty. She's sassy, honest and humorous..gets right to the point. YOU control your financial future. Make the most of what you make, not what you want.
