Description

The New York Times bestselling money guide, providing time-tested financial advice on topics like saving, managing debt, investing for the future, and selecting insurance, is now revised and updated with all that Gen Z and millennials need to know now. With over half a million copies sold, this classic has helped generations of young adults through booms and busts, recessions, and even a pandemic, by delivering consistent money advice in down-to-earth, no-drama language—while keeping pace with an evolving financial landscape. Gen Z and millennials are experiencing an unprecedented affordability crisis: rents are higher than they’ve been in years, and the concept of buying a home seems like a pipe dream; they are carrying more debt than previous generations; and they are confronting a tough and unpredictable job market. Even with a secure job and a 401(k), the uncertainty of the economy, surging home prices, and the volatility of the market would make anyone anxious about their money decisions, let alone young people who are only just beginning their financial journeys. In this totally revised and updated edition, Kobliner teaches readers how to pay down debt, get a good return on savings, and plan for the future. Straight from the latest research, she shows how to choose the right bank, avoid excessive fees, and rein in spending. Kobliner also offers unbiased advice on the latest trends in personal finance—from neobanks and social media influencers to online fraud and cryptocurrency. And she answers frequently asked money questions such as: When is it smart to rent rather than buy (and vice versa)? How can I improve my credit score? When is the right time to invest in the stock market—and how? How do I save money on taxes? Get a Financial Life has already helped over half a million readers get a handle on their finances and build smart money habits, no matter how much—or how little—they have. No wonder it has remained the go-to personal finance resource for young adults for more than thirty years. Read more

    • Recommended Read!
I’ve been reading this and it’s well-formatted and communicated in simple terms. The author meets you where you’re at. Educated advice but also still feels like it’s from someone who cares about you and is not trying to sell you on something. Recommend from someone who’s learned about finances the hard way! ... show more

    • Gain FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE - Excellent for ANY Age
Format: Paperback
Gain FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE - Excellent for ANY Age! Get A Financial LIFE: Personal Finance - This book caught my attention because I know, only too well, that most people (young and old) worry about MONEY. Sadly, our educational institutions are virtually "bankrupt" when it comes to providing helpful advice on Money Management and Personal Finance. Even most MBA programs fall short! As a Business & Financial Consultant for many years, mostly to Health Care Professionals, I have seen, first hand, the deep concern most people have about the health of their savings / investments / retirements / homes / jobs / professions - and with very good reason. I have also witnessed the high stress, frustration, discouragement, pain - and diminishing hope - that many have gone through, with the frail (global) economy. Although this book is aimed more at the younger market, I see it as a 'basic guide' for ALL ages, and for many different situations. Yes, perhaps there are some 'more sophisticated' financial strategies that could have been covered (like "becoming your own banker" - "income sprinkling" - "passive income options", etc), but they usually require some 'hands on' guidance from an expert in financial matters. Nevertheless, whether you are single - in university - married and raising a family - in your prime career years - a professional - an entrepreneur - retired ... OR, whether you're earning $20,000/yr - $250,000/yr+ ... OR, whether you're financially savvy (or otherwise) ... it doesn't really matter, as this 352-page book (by Beth Kobliner, best-selling author and journalist) will educate and empower "anyone" to greater financial success in their life. For example, in my practice over the years, working with mainly with Health Practitioners, who are very busy, with hectic schedules ... many are stressed out, often taking better care of their clients than they do of themselves. Also, they have paid a "huge" price, in time, effort and money (bank debts!) to receive their professional designations and certifications. These dedicated, heart-centered healers are very well trained in the CLINICAL side of their practice - but most often, the BUSINESS side - as well as their PERSONAL FINANCES - are a totally different story. Kobliner includes common sense and sound advice that's applicable to "everyone" - on budgeting, credit, banking, investing, credit cards, ATMs, bank accounts, mutual funds, retirement savings plans, apartment renting, paying back student loans, retirement planning, home buying, insurance, taxes, tips on car loans, and more. Without any hesitation, I give this excellent book a 5-STAR recommendation! Sincerely, Peter Arnold, CLU, CFC / Canada ... show more

    • I think this book is important for anybody who thinks of inventing anything
Procrastination is one of my floors, so I’ve not gotten yet to this book. I was impulsive and it was a lot of books because I was inventing a lot of things.

    • So informative but also easy to understand!!
I was so intimidated to find and start reading about personal finance so I could get my life in order. I was recommended this book and I'm so glad I decided to read it. Really easy to understand but very informative at the same time.

    • best money book I've read
An amazing resource, everything from crypto to credit. The advice is straightforward and the examples/stories show why to follow it. A must-buy if you're just starting out with money, or feel like you never really started.

    • Good book, but needs a revision specially in tax chapter
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Mike
This is my second finance related book after reading RDPD and I have to say there's a lot of good content in here and lots of nice advise that i wish I read years ago. I really liked how she explains the whole insurance process and many othersl scenarios suchbas 401k. One major problem i see in this book is when it comes to the taxes chapter. The tax code have had a major overhaul with this administration and unfortunately a lot of the tax information is totally invalid. I recommend you look for tax answers elswhere. ... show more

    • Good workbook and layout
Format: Paperback
I'm at the beginning of reading this and I have to say it's a little simplistic since I'm older than the crowd (younger than I am) it is meant for. It's organised very conveniently and well laid-out. I am very interested in the basics of finances and what was/is considered proper and will be considered good practises. This is the book to get you and your basics automated like brushing your teeth. Which is great! Rarely does math, economics, and organisation get connected into one book. ... show more
