Good Money Management
596443
Money Management ideas and placing 6 & 8 lessons were spot on.  I and I'm sure a great many other craps players thought of "The Patrick System" on our own.  His suggestion to use hardway bets, the yo and the 12 as hedge bets makes no sense.
The house edge is too high on those bets and while you might feel good occasionally when one of them hits, you will certainly lose in the long run.  He stresses throughout the book to chart a table before playing.  Every dice roll is totally independent of all prior rolls.  A shooter who makes three points in a row has just as much chance of making the fourth as he did of making the point on his first roll.
Three shooters in a row could crap out and then the next one could make ten points a row.  Charting a table is a waste of time I'm surprised he emphasized it so much.

This book does a great job of showing you how to put your faith first and money second. Phil makes money simple to understand and gives you basic goals to shoot for in order to get financially secure.

While showing you how to take the basic steps of getting to financial security, Phil includes short stories to emphasize key points and wraps everything up with biblical principles.

There is no promise that it will be easy to get financially stable, but the peace of doing so is well worth it.

This book is easy to read and relate to, and even if you are a financially minded person, the "why" behind your saving and spending gets clarified.

Read it, get the basics down, and you will get to financial security and peace.

This book is short but is packed with a lot of useful, practical information on how to save money.  There is no filler, just solid content.  It's also well written, which is refreshing, as so many other books in this price range cannot make that claim.  My only quibble with the book is that the information is a tad basic for someone like me, who is well-versed in frugality already.  Nevertheless, I still took away a few tips that were new to me.
It's well worth the investment of a few bucks.

Dave repeatedly tells us throughout the book that his advise is based on common sense and it's nothing you wouldn't hear from God or your grandmother. But he presents it well and that makes all the difference. We've used his advise to put our finances in order and will have saved thousands in the first year alone by eliminating crushing dept that was being carried under outrageous interest rates.

This book is easy to read and is filled with good advise from cover to cover. I believe this book can be a useful money tool even to those who are already financially savvy. If the reader were to use only one small bit of Dave's advise, this book would pay for itself ten fold. How many purchases can make that claim?

I do recommend this book to anyone who will listen.

This book is full of actual trade set-ups that work fairly well. It also has targets and stops.
You don't need to use every pattern, just find 2 to 5 that the you notice replicate more often in your time frame. You can look back in history to see how well they worked before attempted real money trades.

Just add money management* and you have a fairly good start.

* Don't bet the farm on any one trade.

This was an easy read for people looking to change the way they save money. I would have invested my money much more wisely and not been losing out to fees and managers. This should be required reading for people about to enter the workforce.

Dave Ramsey has written a book which tells you how to manage your finances. You do not have to be a CPA or an MBA to understand the basic advice given in this book. His main advice is to get rid of debt, be it credit card debt, auto loans, student loans, or any other loans. He says that debt is the main thing standing in the way of building wealth. If we did not have debt payments, that money could be put toward investing for retirement. He says it is good to put your money into mutual funds that are from the 15% of your gross income. He says to build up an emergency fund that starts as $1000. The ultimate emergency fund will have 3 to 6 months of income in a liquid account. He also gives tips such as staying away from places like rent to own businesses, payday lending places, he does not recommend playing the lottery, buying a trailer home, etc. This is a book from which everyone could get good advice.

Basic investing made easy.  I give this to my kids upon college graduation.  If it's the only book about money management that they ever read, I suppose this is the best.

Managing our finances is really a hard thing to do for me since budgeting is not my forte. Thats why by the time that we need to pay all our monthly bills, I usually get stressed. This is a very nice book that discusses the proper way of budgeting. It also provides effective tips and strategies that will serve as a wonderful guide in handling your personal finances. It helped me a lot in understanding the basics of budgeting and how to properly manage my bills and other expenses.

This book is definitely worth reading! It is written in simple and easy to follow guide.

Wall Street is not a bad place but it should not be the only place to help you reach your financial objectives. Clearly high cash value strategies work.
