Had to use this book for a Finance Management class. The weird part was it has nothing to do with Business Finances. So it was a poor choice from the teacher. But to rate the book, it was good to know the concepts for succesful personal finance management or planning. So if you have to buy it because its for class, then buy it. If not, then google the topics on it. You would have the same luck reading [...] excerpts on the content.

The book may be fine, but I bought the product for the combination of capabilities it offered, including access to the software. Apparently this is not a dual-OS media, and it is unreadable in Mac OS, which I only found out after purchasing the book, and breaking the seal on the CD.
No possibility of a refund, and while some of the material may be available on a companion website, this is not what I thought I was purchasing.
Very unhappy with a large expenditure, which did not work out as I’d planned. Hardly the way one wants to approach their own Personal Finance.

I needed it for a business class and kept it! Although I’m not a business major but has lots of things we need for life. Well explained and illustrated.

This book and software are great. I thought so much of it I gave both my sons who are in their 30′s copies of it for Fathers’ Day.
