Amazon.com Review:
Personal Finance for Dummies offers sound and practical advice for those who want to get control over their personal financial lives. Author Eric Tyson points out the most common mistakes that we all make in our approach to money and prescribes ways to save and invest for a secure future. Using worksheets, the book helps you to measure your own financial health by looking at factors such as how much debt you carry, your savings rate, as well as investment and insurance checkups.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Bernie Madoff is the key to a better financial future
More left wing liberal nuts and their anarchist ways! All you need is a great republican candidate in 2012.. such as Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, or Gary Coleman!

And the economic depression started because Ron Paul made it!

For info on bettering your finances contact Bernie Madoff people. I Invested $50 billion with madoff and he said in 2025 I should be expecting a triple on my return!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Personal Finance for Dummies
I was a big fan of Mr. Tyson's Home Buying for Dummies, so it was little surprise to me that this volume was also quite good. Tyson provides all the information you need to get your personal finances in order without an excessive expenditure of time. From containing costs to retirement investing to insuring your stake, Tyson explains the necessities and points out the drawbacks and wastes. I am quite confident that with this book and a couple weeks of focused activity, nearly anyone can get their ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good overviw of personal finance
I found this book very helpful. It gave me a good overview of personal finance options that were beyond the basics (savings accounts, mutual funds) that I knew about previously. If you're looking for something very advanced, this isn't the book you want, but it was certainly more advanced than I would have expected.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Clearly written
Although very simply and accessibly written, this manual just was not what I was looking for. I had been expecting a volume on understanding IRAs, Bonds, Stocks, 401ks and the like, and got a book on budgeting and saving Great for people who need help in that area, but not quite what I wanted.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty Good Book
I've been working on ways to manage my finances better, so I checked out Personal Finance for Dummies. It was a pretty good book. I liked when the author pointed out common mistakes you can make, but the investing stuff wasn't really for me.

I would have almost liked to see the investing part in another book and a deeper look on handling debt.
