Your Road to Lifelong Financial Independence
It’s about time you felt empowered to better manage your money because–in tough economic times more than ever–your financial freedom depends on making smart choices. But it’s hard to know where to begin, especially when you’re just starting out. And of course, it only gets more complicated as you go through life: How do you establish good credit?

Review by Mario G. Garcia for The Wall Street Journal. Guide to Starting Your Financial Life
Rating:
I would recommend this excellent (reference) book to all those who are in the process of getting out of the “pre-life” into the “real life”, and by that I mean those who are leaving school and either continuing to college, armed forces, or the job market. It is a book to keep and refer to from time to time as “real life” develops from it beginnings to settlement into a career, family, and wealth-building years. I would say this book should be in the hands of all high school seniors (and it may now be used by teachers of economics or similar courses in high schools and colleges)….. this book, and a good motivating teacher, can do wonders to those kids who are interested in and paying attention to the business of life…. and even for others who are late bloomers (maturity not always come at the same time for all), it can help understand how to best go about earning and spending money.

Great book for someone out of college, starting their career and learning how to manage their new found income properly and efficiently to invest in their future. Easy read, explanations are simple and easy to follow. Gave this book as gift but read it prior to giving.

I bought this book for my soon-to-be-graduating from college son. Wow, Ms. Blumenthal hits everything from insurance to apartment leases to buying a car. Phil found it most helpful. This book would make a great text for a freshman-level personal finance class. I heartily recommend it.

Wife and children are reading their personal copy of this book (which I provided). Pretty basic — but exatly what is needed.
Review by Bob B for The Wall Street Journal. Guide to Starting Your Financial Life
Rating:
Good but a little light and quick on subjects that should be covered with more depth – e.g. ownership and insurance are areas covered with a couple of sentences. Maybe instead of narrow catchy publishing style use conventional book style and add more meat and a good index.
