Although the title focuses on a guide to financial survival after losing one's job, this is actually more of a good basic personal finance book. It covers unemployment, health insurance, 401k turnover and withdrawals, automobiles, and whether it's a good idea to pay for your kid's college education. It also explains the different types or financial advisers. the only thing I wasn't crazy about was that the book ended with a sales pitch for using the author's financial advisory services. Nonetheless, as all of the possible options were explained, and it was emphasized that the advisers should not be making money on your money, I thought the book's presentation of the subject was quite fair. My favorite point was his advice not to use professionals that make you uncomfortable for any reason. I won this in a GoodReads giveaway, and found it to be one of the better personal finance books I've read lately.

As someone considering early retirement, I found this book presentation of different options very helpful. I'm not sure if the recent Trump tax changes will affect some of the tax percentages mentioned, but this is overall useful for anyone who may be leaving a job.

Great Read,
I would recommend this even if you haven’t lost your job. It’s a great read for anyone that is going through a transition.

This book is generally useful, in that it encourages people to take long-terms views, not guess the market, to save etc.
However, the detail and the various tax mechanics are all US-focused, which is of course no use to anyone outside that tax regime.
It was well-written, and having been is the US system for a number of years it makes sense (some tips about the 401(k) were great, for example), so well worth a read if you are in the US . Otherwise, not useful.
