Midwest Book Review

Written specifically for people in their 20s and 30s and who don’t feel like they are in control of their financial life, Beth Kobliner has written one of the best personal finance books currently available.

Get A Financial Life shows anyone how to manage money and make it grow. It teaches how to refinance high-rate credit cards and student loans; invest in the right mutual funds; find low-cost auto loans and mortgages; make the most of tax deductions; and use tax-advantaged savings plans to build a serious nest egg towards eventual retirement – especially when Social Security is under heavy stress by the time the 20 & 30 year olds are entering their retirement years.

Get A Financial Life is “must” reading for young adults – and has a lot of solid information for the 40 and over crowd as well!
