On-the-money

If you're an "expert" who needs this book, you've missed the boat. It is very obsolete; published in 1996 and therefore probably written with 1995 website technology. Everything that is in this book and much more you can obtain just by surfing the Web financial sites. I doubt that even a beginner could benefit from this book.

This book was a complete waste of money. The author indicated nothing new. The only good piece of information I got out of the book was the weather prediction guide (The Old Farmers Almanac). Other than that, the author did not give any new tips. This book should cost $5.00 only. It is not worth the price that it corrently is.

This author of this book is the perfect example of someone who is a "jack of all trades...master of none." What do I mean? One only has to look at the table of contents to begin to understand how any individual could possibly offer much authoritative info on everything from "Saving on Clothes Purchases" (men, you're out of luck, this chapeter primarily references women's clothing) to "Savvy Personal Investments" (all 4 pages). At best, this book offers a combination of basic common sense advice that the average adult probably already knows, and a large breadth of categories that may--or in may case may not--hit home. Apparently Prentis Hall published this manuscript on the merits of the author's credentials alone, rather than on it's quality.
