Customer Reviews

Great Purchase

Book is in great shape and arrived in a timely manner. I am very happy with this purchase.

Everyone needs Personal Finance guidance

I find this book well worth the money, especially for young people just starting out, like college grads. This also is great for high schoolers because it teaches basics in checkbook and savings, investing, and other good pointers that many young adults never hear otherwise.

great boko

I got this for a class and really liked it. It is easy to read and had a nice layout.

Great Service

I needed this book for an online class and I needed it QUICK! The book store at my school ran out and I was out of luck. I ordered here and received in 3 business days I believe. Great Service!

Excellent resource for taking financial control

I had to purchase this book for a university course I once took (several editions earlier). This book is a great resource for taking you through the personal financial planning process. This book may seem a bit intimidating but if you want personal financial success, it is worth going through the book. It will take you step by step on how to achieve your financial success. This is the best textbook I have ever purchased.
