Great Introduction to Personal Finance

This book provided a great introduction and overview to key the concepts in personal finance including, general principles, life insurance, and investment.

Excellent Book

I also happen to be taking Professor Hallman's class at the Wharton School; I blieve his book is written with sufficient detail to be comprehensive, and in a language that does not necessarily exclude the layman

Very thorough book.

We require advisors and brokers to read this in our firm. It's not totally inclusive, but NO book is. But for the average person, there is more here than they even need. This is the book for professionals to brush up on and know all facts.

When can we expect the sixth edition?

In the preface to the fifth edition (1993) references are made to the tax law changes of the late 80's up to and inclusive of 1990. Since we are into 1999 and there have been interim tax law changes is a sixth edition in the works?

Very Practical;no nonsense

I read this book when it was still in its 3rd edition. I was just beginning to learn about investing but I didn't know WHO to ask and I didn't trust alot of the hype that was out there. This was pre-1987 plunge. I found this to be a no nonsense book; particularly helpful for "first-timers". I appreciate that it didn't endorse any particular investment entity or product.
