excellent basic financial data

As advertised. Very clean and brand new smelling and appearing. No bent edges. Very concise book that makes it easy to understand. Especially if you are a busy professional. I should have read this book during residency.

Compact and illustrative text that hits the mark as an excellent personal finance tool, gift, and life lesson to be learned and shared with young adults and adults, young and seasoned in today's financially burdened society.

Informative.

Although the book clearly explains various topic related to personal financing but the entire information is too basic. I was expecting much more than that.

Just what I needed. Thank you!
