The ABC's of sensible financial living

I am not a financial genius. I have struggled all my life with finances. I have read books, taken classes, and advice. I have never been able to get my finances under control. This book is easy to read, easy to understand and easy to follow. For the first time in many years, I have a balance in my savings account and am beginning to get myself into a better financial position. I really didn't think anyone could help me do that. I would highly recommend this book to anyone (any age) who has personal finances and wants to know the best way to handle them. --gail

surprisingly enjoyable and informative

This book is easy to read and even entertaining at times, and the author does not talk down to the reader. Like the other reviewers, I bought it for my young adult children, but I learned quite a lot more than I anticipated. Bill's ability to explain terms briefly and clearly clarified some of my misconceptions. The book also brings home the idea that budgeting needn't be torture, but instead ita road to real savings in the future. How to deal with your your paycheck inclusions and how to manage your taxes are covered well. Bill explains from soup to nuts a vast amount of information in an appealing way, I'm even giving it as a Christmas gift to some of my less than financially savvy friends.

The Perfect $torm

What Bill has accomplished here, is the perfect storm, or shall I say the Perfect $$$torm of Kiyosaki, Orman, Cramer, and Financial Empowerment 101. Intended for youths fresh out of college and those fairly new in their career, Bill has managed to encompass information that is essential to the aforementioned and for many that are well into their careers and just need straight talk about finances from mortgages to 401K's. Wow, the 401K section really did it for me! Let's face it we've all said had I only known this then... Well, in "The Naked Truth" author Bill DeShurko not only will make you ask that question but will answer it in a way that informs you of how to be proactive about other financial enigmas. Job well done. Thank you for helping me, help ME.

A Must Read for Young People

This book is well written, easily understood, and in my opinion, should be a standard issue text book in every high school in the United States. I am 51 years old and I learned a few things. My two twenty something sons are reading it and am certain they will benefit. Nice job Mr. Deshurko.
