I LOVED this book. I had already read it quite a few years ago, but I thought it would be a very good idea to reread it - especially with the economic climate we are living in these days.

I don't know why the message did not really sink in the first time, but I have to say that it certainly sunk in now.

This book takes an HONEST and totally realistic look at money and the influence and impact it has on our lives.

Having said that, I like that, on many levels, the authors also chose to go the route of the 'stating matter-of-factly'. All of the research (and there has been a ton done for this book) is stated in an easy to understand, down to earth manner. There are tons of examples AND alot of worksheets and challenges that are included here.

The authors take a look at alot of the basic steps, that we should be taking and are not. There is a huge X on the subject of credit (see what I mean! they were right all along) and this book tells you right to your face the pitfalls of making stupid financial decisions.

The only little point I had is that I thought the print was a bit tiny, but I have to say that this is a minor issue.

This book is full, full of wisdom and interesting info - if only we would listen up.
