For those who need the help, it's worth the look.
This book is designed for those who have limited knowledge on putting their finances in order. There is a logical progression from the start talking about figuring your net worth then moving into maximizing your income and career goals and finally, how to live a frugal life style. For someone with limited to no financial experience, this book is worth it's weight in gold. If you have a good grasp on financial management and the basics on how to live within your means, I'd say pass on this book.
