Fairly typical self help finance book. Lots of basic info for the financial aspects of life, particularly geared to the recent college grad.
I may not agree with everything the author says in this book, but she explains things so well about why certain options make sense financially.
I know next to nothing about the fine details of finance, yet I found this book incredibly informative and easy to understand. A must-read for the young person trying to manage his or her limited money in an effective way.
I do recommend sticking a post-it on the cover, though -- Suze is a genius, but her expression is a bit, um, intimidating.

This is a book that I suggest every new employee buy because it breaks down what the hell to do with 401k options if, like me, you didn't want to seem too young and inexperienced to ask. It also has a lot of good information for car purchases, home purchases, and what to do with finances when you get married. I recommend this book to buy now for the investing section and savings section, and keep it on hand for later down the road. Orman is very realistic and gives honest advice that is specifically geared towards people in their 20s.
Urgh, I wish Suze Orman was my next door neighbor so I could constantly bug her with questions about my financial life. This book is the next best thing (along with her TV show, which I love). Not only does Suze know her stuff, but she breaks down all the scary financial jargon extremely well, so that anyone can understand it. Some might find her analogies too simplistic, but I think that's exactly what is needed when many of us have no clue what some of these terms mean. I learned a lot from reading this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some solid money advice. If you're looking to someday own a home (or even just a car) and want to know exactly what that process will entail, or if you have student loan and credit card debt and aren't sure which to tackle first, Suze is your girl.
A good personal finance book that offers practical solutions to real problems. Includes lots of examples and provides a framework for responsible financial decision making.
Resourceful. Definitely a book I will refer to on an ongoing basis.
Every young person should read this book! Changed the way I manage and think about money.
I gave myself a shorter digital check-out date that I usually would and had to be a bit strategic about what parts of this I read. In other words, I did not read 100% of this book. I skipped things that seemed like a repeat of what I have read in her past books (and which I didn't need a refresher on).
This book was in the same tone as her past books so if you have read the others and didn't like them, you may want to skip this one. The investment chapter was understandable and the most important to me. But, there was a lot there so I am going to probably read another book with an emphasis on stocks, etc.
Her investment chapter was about investing in retirement, mainly. I would rather read about investing outside of an ROTH, IRA, etc. I really don't see myself starting to have for that until I am 30. Or, if I do, it'd be pretty minimal.
