    This money book did indeed have a lot of sensible advice. It is however, an unfortunate fact of life that you can't make something from nothing, and deciding where you should put your money is largely irrelevant if you don't have enough to cover your current expenses to begin with. I have a sneaking suspicion that those people who make enough money to truly benefit from a where-should-you-put-your-money book, don't need one because they're already doing ok. And for those who might, a book is just a motivator. Managing money is like dieting. If you want to lose weight, you really just need to eat less. If you want to have more money, spend less. The book just keeps you focused.

    Not as helpful as The Total Money Makeover. She gives you some tips, but it's changing your philosophy, habits, and lifestyle that really makes a difference.

    I don't see how a book geared towards the "Young, Fabulous & Broke" can be so painfully outddated. I mean, it was written in this millenium, but it's hard to tell considering some of the advice. "Cut your landline and use your cell phone to save money!" says Suze. "If you can't seem to keep your checkbook balanced, go open a brand new account at your bank and deposit a check in it - that way you know exactly how much you have and can start over new!"Suze. A word. I don't know a single person under the age of 30 who *owns* a landline. Literally not one person. And I've never balanced a checkbook in my life but that's because I've been using online banking since I was sixteen. If I want to know exactly how much (or little) money is in my account, I can find out in five seconds (with a good wifi connection). Some of the advice is solid, especially the way she breaks down investment strategies and explains all the factors that go into a FICO score. But the rest of it is clearly geared towards the painfully stupid ("Help, I cosigned on a friend's credit card and now they're not paying their bill!") and the old. For the Young, Fabulous & Broke - sorry, but this book is not a good fit for you.

    Excellent, practical advice for those of us who have dug ourselves into a financial hole. No pie-in-the-sky solutions, Orman acknowledges it will take hard work to get back on track, and provides set steps and solutions. Perfect library addition for 20 to 30-somethings, or anyone you know who is bad with money.

    You have to read this book if you are 35 and under. It's a financial bible!

    Sure, Suze can be obnoxious on TV, but the book isn't too preachy (or thick, or dense with words--I wanted advice, not literary stylings from this one.) Pretty decent advice for the college-educated no-money crowd.

    OK...so I'm not *that* broke (or young and fabulous, for that matter), but I bought this book because I wanted some very basic tips on managing money. It's clearly written and concise and covers most of the topics that would interest the 18 - 30's crowd.
