great book for the absolutely clueless (like me)
This is a very informative book written in easy to understand terminology. This should be REQUIRED reading in every high school in the U.S. I wish I had this information when I started working. It would have been helpful before I bought my house, and is still very useful as I plan my retirement savings.

 One good chapter ( hartbiz )
For me, this book has one good chapter, its about debt; otherwise this is just an average book. I've read six money managment books this summer. I liked this one the least. I just bought four more copies of Jane Bryant Quinn's SMART AND SIMPLE FINANCIAL STRATEGIES FOR BUSY PEOPLE to give to my young adult children, its the best of the six books I read.

 Same old Same old ( bersons2 )
This is a good book if you're in high school, but for those of us who have graduated from college, we already know this stuff. I recommend Graham's book (also coveted by Warren Buffet) and The Model Rules of Personal Finance for Professionals (American Bar Association 2008) for understanding how to manage your financial life and how to invest.

Great overview of many aspects of personal finance
I recently took a personal finance class in which everyone in the class was asked to read a book of their choosing and give a presentation on what they learned. After hearing the presentations, I decided to buy this book. It doesn't get down into the details too much, but I felt it offered a great breadth of resources - kind of like a reference book. It doesn't give you specific action plans like many popular press books, but it much more objective, just providing the facts.
