It does not take much to filter the good stuff in this book, true it is written for the younger set, but us older still financially "stupid" can get lots of important insights out of this book. You can give it as a gift to your adult children and they will not think you are over stepping your boundries, Just say " I thought you might need a little help". Very non-threatening.

Most people my age aren't thinking of their financial future but for the ones that want to start a plan....buy this book! You probably won't be able to do everything she recommends but it's a good reference for when you're ready!

I just finished grad school, and find myself with a massive amount of both personal and educational debt. I was feeling particularly helpless and unsure about the best way to handle my financial situation. Reading this book has help me put a plan in motion, beginning with taking control of my credit card debt. I highly recommend this book to people in similar situations, as well as to anyone who wants to get control of their life.
