Managing Your Money for Dummies is very clearly written. There are a few sections that are of no use to me, but the book was still fascinating. The best parts were the ones that discussed Bankruptcy since I have never needed to consider such an option. Many things can happen in life, and a lot of people lack a safety net. I am lucky in that regard.

The most useful portion of the book addressed retirement and investing. Some might find valuable information in the other sections. For example, the book contains a section on getting out of debt.

There are several authors. I don't feel like listing them all.

A good book to check your knowledge of money and assets. 7 books in one actually but very few learning points for someone who earns and saves. namely, eliminate your debt, know your money rights, save no matter what and you can never save too much, pay yourself, plan your retirement and your will, invest whatever you can spare in a stable portfolio and always read the fine print.
Only down side, the book is more Americanized than it should be. Good stuff none the less.

What I learned as the basics of personal finance.(but not from this book)
1) Increase income: always improve your skills and try new things to achieve this.
2) Reduce spending: this is something you can do right now. Buy only what you need.
3) Increase by investing: I don’t have enough knowledge, and I can't afford it right now, but I want to try.

Basically, the Dummies series is not my favorite because it explains too much and I can't get a concrete picture.

Some good information, I wish I payed attention to the copyright because a lot of the information is out of date.

I did like this book. It is a great refresher to some of the previous budgeting/financial planning books I have read. It also hit some interesting points that I didn't see before. For the most part, it is an overview/refresher/starter book and provides good ideas on how to learn more. Personally, I had hoped to see more about dealing with student loan debt, how it works and how to consolidate or defer. For a large overview like this, its absence is a little surprising. If you've studied finance, accounting or have read several other books about the topics before, treat this as a reference and reminder. Those new to financial considerations will best use this as a firm guide in the right direction.

Did the job. A nice starting point. Now I get insurance. And estate planning.
