Well Done... [Posted on 2008-01-19]
This book has helped clear up all the mystery that seems to surround the world of finance. Finally I completely understand stocks and the stock market. Of all the finance books I've read this one is the keeper.

Other books may be good to spur you on towards saving and investing - this one educates you.

'Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck' is going to be my gift of choice to highschool and college graduates, and maybe even to new parents so they will start saving, even a little bit, for their child's future education.

Insightful, Intelligent, Engaging - Thank you Mr. Rubin  [Posted on 2008-02-23]
Have questions about money, finances, wealth (or the absence of it!!) This is the book you'll wish you read a long time ago. I went from not even knowing I didn't know, through to moving in an excellent direction in comparatively no time at all (especially considering the years it took me to get as far wrong as I was!!) The Authors use of conversational writing coupled with enough humor to keep us non-financial types interested is nothing short of amazing. This book is not only an easy read but also an excellent gift. Again, THANK YOU Mr. Rubin

Total Money Makeover or Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck? Read this first! [Posted on 2008-03-11]
Having read both Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" and this book, I must highly recommend "Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck" to you.

It covers, in detail, many different aspects of personal finance (insurance, taxes, paychecks and 401(k) considerations, investing, debt, etc.) while maintaining a sense of humor throughout. Although "Total Money Makeover" does get one motivated to get out of debt, it does not supply the thorough education and background, which "Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck" does so well.

If you are looking for a basic/intermediate personal finance education- this is the book to start with. It is very practical and no-nonsense, without angrily clubbing you over the head with words like "stupid" and "idiotic" (as Mr. Ramsey likes to do in "Total Money Makeover"). Also, this book has a useful appendix with helpful websites and a glossary of terms.

A great read! Thank you Mr. Rubin!

I didn't really learn anything [Posted on 2008-07-24]
I'm a 29 y/o -- I point that out because while I did not really take anything away from this book, someone 21/22 years old straight out of college may get a thing or two from it. It covers the basics of saving money, retirement plans, etc...

Well worth it [Posted on 2008-09-24]
