Ask Kim for Money Smart Solutions

The nice thing about this book is the format--instead of being a dense mass of information that you have to wade through to learn what you need, the book is written in a question-and-answer format that helps you get right to the useful information. The format also lends itself to picking it up, flipping to a page and learning useful information that you might *not* have thought of learning about (for me, insurance).

This is a great source for answers to the personal financial questions that come up every day, on everything from credit ratings to life insurance options. The book comprises lots of Kim's Kiplinger's columns that address real readers' questions, so she's got information for everyone, whether you have an expanding family, face retirement, need to care for a special-needs kid, or want to set up a college fund. Very accessible and conversational tone. Highly recommended!
