Not worth the money
This book by Larry Burkett of whom I have the utmost respect (I reguarly listen to his radio show on finances), seemed to me very, very shallow. The book measures just 6.5" X 4". It has less than 43 pages of actual information if you include the glossary (which has a total of 13 words). On average, each page addresses 2 topics. The information is generally sound, but little explaination is given as to why one should do such and such. The subject of finances is for teenagers, but if your teenager is going to college, he won't be impressed by this book. But what really got me going was the [price] retail price! I would price it more like [cheaper price]. Having said all of the above I would like to still encourage readers to continue to buy and read books by Mr. Burkett. You will never go wrong with any of his advise. I bought his book "Money Matters for Teens" at [price] (still a little pricy in my opinion) which seems great at first glance.
