I think that every high school student should read this (text)book before graduating! I wish I would have! A lot of the content I had to learn on my own. It is a great resource for those moving out on their own for the first time!

Every basic thing you need to know about economics like investing, debts, taxes in the us, major financial decisions, etc.. is in this book. It's very detailed and organized but somewhat theoretical. It's always better to go out and put yourself in a real situation to actually comprehend things.

[Tammy Bandy]

If you are looking for a book on everything that has to do with finance, this is your book. This should be a must for a all students.

boy this is not fun. but necessary.

I took a family finance class in college and this was the required book. Great class, and I'm really glad I kept the book. I'm just brushing up on a few things.

[Tori]

Mostly helpful, and the boxes with tips and guidance are particularly useful. But sometimes it's too detailed or abstract, or otherwise difficult to get through. I hate money.

[Lynne]

DONE I PASSED!

[Amber Foster]

Great resource to buying a car, home, and for retirement tips. Joseph Marchese couldn't have been a better teacher. NPR has his radio show every week on Sundays still I believe.

[Megan]

Great information for those in the financial field or those interested in learning more about their personal finances.

[Nathan]

Very informative.
