BOOK: Personal Finance For Dummies

Personal Finance For dummies by Eric Tyson is written for beginners trying to get a handle on their finances. It is written so everyone can understand and use the information. It is definitely a good book for starting your financial journey and getting an understanding of investments, saving, and preparing for retirement.

While I am not a personal finance dummy, I did pick up a few gems that I will be putting into action in the near future. It also have some advice that I do not completely agree with, like cutting up all your credit cards. I think having one credit card is good for your credit, but it all depends on the individuals. Eric outlined some very good tips on shopping, that I have been living by for the last 8 years. He suggested thing like, buying in bulk and eating it before it goes bad. There is also advice on travelling, career, investing and just about every other aspect of personal finance.

I recommend Personal Finance For Dummies to beginners and intermediates. It’s not a must read for the seasoned money managers, but does have a few good tips. You can get it Amazon or at your local library.
