This is a good beginner book on the topic and it would be great used in a first course as a study guide. Covers everything in 440 pages from investing to getting out of debt to lower insurance rates it has something for anyone trying to control their money. The lack of pictures means this book is full of information which is great value for its cost. A good beginning book for getting the most from your money.

It is never too late to learn about retirement planning. Two years out on the horizon for me and this book gave insightful and valuable guidance that will serve me well for the next 20-30 years

This is the first "... for Dummies" that really could be written for dummies. It was incredibly simple and aimed at the complete novice.

That said, it is thorough and may be useful for someone just starting to look at their personal finances. Maybe a young couple or someone just finishing school. Also, some advice is a little dated now and I recommend getting a current-year version.

I'm just glad it came from th library and not the store.

Very good and easy to understand. I picked this up from local library but I think this should be a book that one owns so that they may re-read it over a few times.

This was an interesting look at the advice people are getting out there. As a financial professional I find the advice sound for rhe most part. I always find the dislike of financial advisors interesting, but I admit I'm definitely biased.
People need to know these things, and for now books like this are the only solution other than financial education.
