Rating: - good for the really really immature and totally new to finance youngsters I first saw this book in a Chinese version in a local bookstore. But since I prefer reading in English on my e-device, I bought this version. First, this book should include more clearly in their description how this book only works for people in the States. I, being in a foreign country, does not deal with the same tax or insurance issues. Most of the chapters were just useless to me. Second, what she writes in this book is really very very very basic. If you have worked a few years, and have heard about finance lessons/stories from friends or family, you probably already know all that's been in the book. Rating: - You're So Money is Just So Funny! Farnoosh Torabi writes a great book about managing finances when you are in your 20's and 30's Rating: - Great read for young or old. I purchased this book for my College Junior so he can have an idea of how to handle his money now and when he is gainfully employed. It's simple for anyone to understand and gives good basic advice. Love it! Rating: - Started out good...but in the end was really disappointed The first chapter of this book was great; the author has great voice and easily got me hooked. The personal stories are a nice way to make an otherwise dry subject more interesting and entertaining. But as you read the book you find that the author's advice is really just plain common sense. What I really stated to dislike was when she would constantly contradict herself. In one chapter she would say not to buy things on sale and then in another she would say how it's a good thing to buy things on sale. She claims she was able to afford to buy an apartment in New York on a Salary of $50,000 but later you find out that her parents bought it for her using their home equity. She also suggests doing thinks like babysitting to make extra cash, just like her friend who makes $400 on a weekend afternoon babysitting her siblings in the Hamptons, come on! I think if this book offered more realistic not so typical advise for your typical young professional (who doesn't necessarily have well off parents or come from money) would have made this book a must read. I instead caution those willing to spend the money on reading this. Rating: - The Money Bible. If you have not read this book, then you must read it. Great for anyone in college and about to start their "financial" lives. Excellent tips and guides you into the debt-free part of society. It's really up to you whether you stay there or not. Written in understandable terms that give it a warm sense to it.
