Not really what I imagined. I was hoping I could get some useful tips regarding how to budget properly but instead got a book that goes through the most basic prinicples of budgeting. The kind of prinicples that every person with a bit of common sense should know. Wouldn't buy again and probably wont keep.

I especially recommend this book to young people - as young as 17 or 18. The sooner we get control of our finances, the happier we'll be. It's a good reference book for anyone to keep on hand. I'm retired and several points no longer apply to my circumstances - like raising children. I read this book to help a younger relative get a handle on money management. Budgeting has always been easy for me. I wanted to use the advice of a 3rd party to assist our conversations. The one thing I disliked was the amount of investing info in the initial chapter on setting up a budget. I suggest that good info be in the investing chapter & that the reader skim that part until s/he has made up a working budget. I especially liked the part at the book's end that pointed to socially conscious investment help - a a younger person looking for investment options I frequently got blank stares when I asked for such choices. Glad that changed!
