Review
Money management books are in no short supply. What's been missing is a book that addresses the complexities of family finances in an easy-to-read style that doesn't dumb-down the content. The Busy Family's Guide to Money fills that vacuum. (Patricia Kutza 20090101)
Contrary to what some popular money books would have you believe, we Americans are not idiots, we're not stupid - we're just BUSY! The Busy Family's Guide to Money dispenses with the disclaimers and digressions to offer stripped-down straight talk for people on the go. No time to read a money book? This one's for you. (Jay MacDonald Bankrate.com 20090101)
Clear, practical, and nicely enhanced by charts and checklists. (Library Journal 20090101)
This book can be a huge money-saver if you play your cards right.... provides all you need to know about budgeting basics and beyond. (Parent & Child Magazine 20090101)
