Remembering that a resource book is just that...Resource. I love this and a few other books like it because it is a Great Resource book for beginning something, such as "Personal Finances". It gives some ideas that you may have never thought about and repeats some that you have. Even so, I think that these books are great for people who are working on improvement in any area of their lives. I have purchased a great number of the "Dummies and Idiots" books for the simplicity of explanations and humor that is placed in the books. Tips and hints are also a great "Checklist" as you pull it all together. To top it off, they often refer to an additional resource for further informtation on a topic. I like to see what other "Dummies and Idiots" book they come up with in the future!
RICH CHICKS BE AWARE! This book can get outdated fast because some of the financial and tax information changes from year to year reducing. So look at the edition of the book and the year published, in the “dummy series” a good personal guide is that if it older that 10 years it is a throw-away. This particular book is still worth buying for information on larger concepts like paying a little extra on your mortgage and determining an acceptable level of risk to guide your investment choices. It is also a good book if you are looking for new ideas and basic information on understanding how money works and the strategies to get yourself out of debt. Just check on new laws before you go out and try the advice. This book is meant to be scrolled through as a reference and then the reader picks out the information that is right for them. It is NOT a cover to cover read so the parts of the material will apply to the novice and the medium trained. This is not an advanced book so if you are looking for great detail the “dummy” series is not for you. It is only in paperback because it is a toss away book. The average consumer will find at least one tip in here that will be worth the second hand price. RICH CHICKS specializes in financial education and we review media that is purchased by women.

The book covers all bases of personal finances. It helps to make decisions as to what avenues need to be covered between conflicting family opinions.
