This book covers a wide range of financial topics under the 'budgeting' heading. My favourite tips were the ones about your credit report (as I didn't know that not using your available finance facilities enough could hurt your score), how to create a budget to track your expenses and some of the linked online resources. The author explains these complex financial terms in an easy to understand fashion which is helpful for anyone that needs to further educate themselves. There are many little gems scattered throughout the book which can also help you save money if you pay enough attention.

Overall: Great info and a good read for anyone looking budget better.

This book is packed with great information on both investing for the longer term and short term trading.  I'll be following his advice to use "paper money" to practice investing on paper first to have a better chance of success once I use real money.  I'm very impressed.  A couple of small things I didn't like was the questionable association to some of the resources he recommends.  But even if he owned them outright it wouldn't be a big deal.  He does have a newsletter that costs about $200 a year which I'll probably subscribe to.

The best thing about this book for me personally is I discovered how interesting this type of investing is to me.  I think it will actually be fun doing the research on prospective companies.

Personal Finance: Unleash the Power of Personal Finance, Smart Investing, and Financial Planning (Financial Planning, Retirement Planning, Investing for Beginners by Prescott Marshall is good beginning book for those of us who want to take control of our financial future. This book covered all the bases of personal finance like what is your Relationship with Money and how that plays a role in financial well-being. The book shows adeptly how your money mindset is the best way to correct a money problems. The book also takes you step by step on how save money and make your money work for you. The book I feel also does a good job at looking at something that many times is overlooked; how do you invest your money once you have paid down your debt. The book also shows you the process of how to plan for your Retirement. I very much enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others.

Thank you for reading my review.

I wish they did teach me this in school. It very clearly explains how to go about managing your money - and it isn't boring either.
I bought two of these books; one for me for reference, and one for a granddaughter who just graduated from high school. I wish every student could have a copy of this because it gives fundamental knowledge that we all need at some time or other when it comes to finances.  I recommend it highly.

Where was this book when I was doing my trust to begin with? Wish I had known about it. So much in here to consider and is very well written, easy to understand, excellent explanations. I read almost anything financial I can get my hands on and there is a lot of new to me info in here. No one in my life could have told me many of the things I needed answers to with regard to when I talk to my children about what, how to be able to tell if I will have enough to pass on to them. For all of the in depth financial planning with experts, evaluation and reading I've done since receiving my own inheritance, not one person has hammered out exactly the % of interest I would need to gain to cover taxes, inflation, and planners fees while being able to live off of the interest. I was a 1.5% off. A small fluctuation in % makes a huge difference. Thank you to the authors for giving me information I couldn't find elsewhere. Love the online calculator too.

An excellent book for the person who lacks understanding of financial matters. After reading this book you will know what a complex financial, business and legal world we live in.

A very easy read to get your financials straightened out. The tips were really very practical and not radical. The book suggests simple and reasonable changes in your daily lifestyle to improve your financials. It includes making a plan and sticking with it and or finding new ways to save some money. I loved the straight forward writing style, it makes it very easy to understand. A very informative read.

This a great book thank God for giving you the wisdom to produce this.  As someone who promotes financial literacy as a means to help us make wise financial decisions I have been blessed by this writing.  It has also given me new insight in several areas and has cause me to revisit some of the ideas I held, notably that concerning term insurance.

I learned a lot from this book.  I plan to follow some of the advice to finance my company so I can expand.  I like the way the author writes - he approaches what I thought were difficult concepts and spells them out in words you can understand.  I would recommend.

This book is thoughtfully laid out and there are a great deal of real life examples throughout.  Not everyone is gifted or taught how to manage personal finance, so books like The Total Money Makeover are great ways of learning what to do and what to avoid.  Creating a plan and tackling problems one by one is great advice!

A savvy, very informed financial reader might not be interested in this book; but for those starting out or looking for a way out of the depths of debt, this book is well worth the investment.
