Everyone's Money Book

Everyone's Money Book is the most comprehensive,useful book on the market if you want to improve your personal finances. The book not only tells you how to invest, cut your taxes, get the best deal on insurance, etc, but gives specific resources like websites, associations, publications, government agencies that can help you put the advice into action. If you want even more detail on all these topics, check out Goodman's Everyone's Money Book Series by the same publisher on Credit, College, Retirement Planning, Financial Planning, Investing and Real Estate.

If you have this book on your shelf, you have no excuses. You may not read it cover to cover -- but any question you may have about managing your finances is answered somewhere in the 970 pages! Jordan gets you started and then provides you comprehensive bibliographies and webographies to explore your topic in depth. Every household needs an up-to-date reference guide and this is the best one out there right now. Unfortunately, it missed the latest changes to the tax code, but I'm sure the soon to be released Everyone's Money Book: Retirement Planning will catch them.

The book is thick. It consists if rich information in different topics in personal finance and investment. Jordon has done an excellent job in illustrating some complicated concepts (e.g. stock and bond exchanges) in concise and clear wording.The writer also produces some useful log sheets or records helping readers to work out their financial status. However, a drawback is that these sheets are put in-between main texts, interrupting readers from finishing reading pieces of writing. I am sure readers would find it more convenient if these stuffs were put at the end of each chapter.

As the author, I want you to know that this newly updated Third Edition of Everyone's Money Book is the most comprehensive personal finance book on the market. It has about 5000 websites, mutual funds, newsletters, government agencies,newsletters and helpful products and services that will save and makes you lots of money. It also tells you how to get the best deal on a car, save money when buying life insurance,get the lowest interest credit card, produce a valid will for about $30, allocate your 401k correctly, get the best mortgage and much more. Give it a try!

I've followed Jordan Goodman's advice for a number of years on television and recently bought this book. If he missed anything in money matters, it probably isn't worth mentioning. It is invaluable for the contacts he listed on how to save money....and frankly, it is loaded with lots of common sense. If couples would agree to read this book and adhere to his advice, the divorce rate would probably plummet (well, that may be extreme)
