Product Description

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.

About the Author

From AudioFile
The issues of spending, saving, investing, and borrowing money are framed by these perky financial writers as a series of simple decisions we can make every day, instead of abdicating these choices to habit and impulse. Their approach reveals an uncommon grasp of the way most people handle their money. The ideas throughout the audio are superb; the language is practical, challenging, and empowering without overselling or offering enthusiasm in place of practical tools. Grover Gardner is excellent with this text--serious and accessible, confident and curious, he paces his performance to match the way most people hear this type of material.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Money, Second Ed
I love this book! Before reading this book, I wondered how anyone could ever save money in the world today. It has helped me to mangage my money easily. An easy to read book, which I use now as a reference whenever I have a question concerning my personal finances. I finally started a 401K, bought a house, a new car, and I am finally learning to save some money,instead of living paycheck to paycheck.

The Complete Idiots Guide to Managing Your Money
This book did a great job of explaining to the average person how to save, invest and avoid the common financial pitfalls we so often make. It was done with humor and wit, which is a breath of fresh air in this often hard to understand, jargon loaded industry. This book is beneficial to anyone who has thought about developing a financial plan but does not know how or where to begin. It is an easy read, fun and should be a required reading for the masses of people buried in credit card debt! Great job!!

Very Helpful!
This book gave me invaluable advice regarding my finances. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! I have adopted many strategies in the book to save for a rainy day. Thank you, and when are you coming out with another edition?
