De: Liz Weston

Narrado por: Heather Henderson

For previous generations, living within your means was a simple formula. Now, with the staggering rise in health-care, medical, and housing costs, millions of people find themselves skating from paycheck to paycheck with no idea how to move forward.

As the most widely read personal-finance columnist on the Internet, Liz Weston has heard the questions and has the answers. This book will help listeners avoid critical mistakes, survive the bad times, and thrive in the good ones. Pointers include how to balance your budget, pay down debt, pay for college, save for retirement, and more.

Liz Weston’s goal is to provide the practical guide to the brave new world of money. What Sylvia Porter’s Money Book was to the 1970s, The 10 Commandments of Money will be for the 2010s.

Should be Taught in Schools

Would you listen to The 10 Commandments of Money again? Why?

Yes, it's worth listening to a second time to be sure that none of the information slips through the cracks. It's all common sense.

Great advice on finances

I've been drowning in debt for a while and am looking forward to trying some of these strategies.

Saving Money

There were some good tips about car, home, and rental car insurances. The advice was very straight forward and easy to listen to with some relationship counseling about financial cheating thrown in.

Great info for anyone, but dated

Lots of great info in this book however it’s a bit old some of the laws changed since then also cell phones no longer really have friends and weekend plans and minutes and stuff like that the reader delivers an authoritative yet kind information to understanding your finances

was alright

was sounding pretty good until the recommendation of mutual funds. To each there own but I wouldn't own a mutual fund
