accounting

This is one of the best books ever written about money and managing it. Peter has written an easy to read book that is extremely interesting and fun. This is a great book for the under 30 crowd, I have already given it to a few friends who are in their mid-twenties and they have been thanking me and raving about it. He explains every concept clearly, which made this book a page turner for me and others I know who have read it. Most books about money and managing it have bored me, but I looked forward to reading it every chance I got. Peter really knows how to keep the reader interested in what he has to write. And one of the best parts about this book is that I learned so much more about what to do with the money I have and the money that I will now be saving.

After scouring through endless personal finance books, I can finally say that I have found a book that easily relates to the young investor. In comparisons to the other personal finance books, from Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (which is more of a philosophical book rather than a 'how-to' book and should be taken that way instead of following his dangerous advice), to Making the Most of Your Money by Jane Bryant Quinn (overall excellent), to Road to Wealth by Suze Orman (estate planning is excellent), and to Personl Finance for Dummies by Eric Tyson (investing plan is very good), just to name a few top rated books, this book deserves recognition. A smart, young adult looking to secure their financial future early in life can easily relate to the topics he discusses and can take action immediately. I recommend this book to anyone, especially to the younger generation.

Why wasn't this book around 25 years ago. It's cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars!!!

Seriously, the book is great. I picked it up at the local library's booksale for $.50 (Ha! I learn fast).
While aimed at the 20-30 something crowd, where it's advice will do the most good, (time really IS money, apparently) it does have a slew of practical "secret's" that will save anyone with patience and commonsense from uberconsumerism.
It's quick pace, short chapters and witty writing style pretty much ensures that when I pass this book on to my 24 year old son he'll actually read the thing (or else!).
