This is an incredible resource to give to your young investors/bankers/money managers AND to read through yourself. I don't know about you, but I had holes in what financial info I recieved when I was growing up. As in - I was just told to 'save for a rainy day' and then left to figure that out. Unfortunately alot of the adult publications are written based on the idea that you/we have learned the basics of investing & banking, so I was in the dark in a lot of ways. This guide was a great show more buy for me to learn the basic terms, strategies, etc. to start me off in investing for myself AND to help guide my son until he is old enough and I can turn this, and his trust account, over to him. (Isn't that around 30? Just kidding!) show less

This book has good deal more detail on healthcare and estate planning than most books, but the level of detail is insufficient for decision making. I wish they had devoted more text or written additional books directly to these two topics. The book is also fairly expesive for the content value.

Easy to follow. Easy to understand. The graphics are very good and very helpful. It requires a tolerance for "investment speak". I have an MBA and enjoyed the read but would like to see a less business jargon version for the average person without a business degree.

This is a basic guide to fundamental financial terms and concepts. It should be required reading before graduating from high school. If you don’t know what fiat currency is, how a short sale works, or why buying futures benefits speculators and actual commodity consumers, then you need to read this book to fill in the huge gaps in your education.
