BOOK
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Money, 4th Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to)
Hugo Ottolenghi
$7.00

About this product:
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Money shows that any numbskull can master personal finance. In this second edition, a father-and-daughter writing team, Robert K. Heady and Christy Heady, give readers the best advice culled from their many years of experience in consumer rights and money management. The Headys believe that money must be managed for the long haul and that there are no quick ways to build wealth. The guide is easy to read, witty, and scornful of the hype dished out by banks and other peddlers of personal finance. It provides a plethora of personal-finance tips for consumers, including how to get the best deal on a mortgage, pay off debt, and bank online. The authors expose financial pitfalls such as bank-sold mutual funds, dealer financing for motor vehicles, extended warranties, and those dreaded bank fees. A full chapter is devoted to the evils of credit cards, which they feel is the biggest ripoff in the financial world. The writers contend that the toughest thing about saving is making the decision to do it. You should get going by putting aside a little amount of money each month through a mutual fund or dividend reinvestment plan. "The whole idea of managing money is to save a dollar here and there and then take that dollar and build it into two," they write. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to understand that. --Dan Ring

BOOK
Sudden Money: Managing a Financial Windfall
Mary Martin
$15.99

About this product:
Susan Bradley, a certified financial planner for nearly two decades, designs and presents programs for those who reap a financial windfall. Since any such gain is relative, she says, this literally happens millions of times each year as people abruptly find themselves facing the pecuniary impacts of everything from a death or divorce to an insurance settlement or winning lottery ticket. In Sudden Money, she addresses critical considerations in a straightforward, step-by-step manner that should prove useful to anyone on the receiving end of such a fiscal boon. Her core advice: develop realistic long-term plans with help from a knowledgeable advisor who can steer you through technical obstacles and point out particulars that you might otherwise miss. To assist, she discusses relevant details and outlines specific actions in sections focusing on three interconnected aspects of the process: carefully charting overall goals, which should begin with a reflective period after first learning about the bonanza; judiciously selecting investments that will produce desired results; and firmly establishing systems that keep everything on track. There also are individual chapters dealing with the eight most common sources of "sudden money," including inheritance, retirement, and the exercise of stock options. --Howard Rothman

BOOK
Feel Smart About: Managing and Investing Your Money in Your 20s
Christian Echavarria
$8.09

About this product:

Building wealth is about managing our careers and the money we make. It all starts with the understanding that we build wealth primarily for two reasons: 1) to build prosperity and 2) to afford a comfortable retirement. Saving and investing to build prosperity is what we do to improve the quality and independence in our lives. Each of us measures quality and independence in our own terms—to some it means being able to afford big-ticket expenses, such as a dream home or supporting a favorite charity. To others it might mean making money work for us so that we don’t have to work for it.

We save and invest for retirement because, at some point in the future, we will choose to stop working and will need to replace the salary we currently earn. Saving and investing to afford a comfortable retirement is an obligation we have to ourselves. It is important to realize that we have no choice but to get on track saving and investing for retirement. We will be depending on it for survival in the later years of our life—considering how much longer people live with every passing decade, saving and investing is becoming increasingly more important.
