From Publishers Weekly
Financial planner Applegate, a correspondent on the Today show, demonstrates her financial know-how and draws a clever analogy here: budget dollars saved are like diet calories cut. Noting that many Americans have no budget but know how to diet, she offers advice for achieving financial fitness. One lively chapter on credit-card debt, of which some $300 million, we learn, was outstanding in the U.S. last year on more than a billion cards, suggests Americans' spending habits in an era when people are discovering that their standard of living will probably never reach that of their parents. In addition to hard-headed money-managing techniques, practical tips abound. One Applegate client froze her credit cards in a container of water, knowing she couldn't rapidly thaw them with the microwave without destroying the cards' magnetic strips. It's all here, including home and car buying and selling, life insurance, health care.

From Library Journal
Applegarth, a personal finance correspondent for the Today Show, has written an outstanding book on personal finance. It outlines ways we can reach our financial goals by cutting what we spend much in the way we should cut back on what we eat. Applegarth uses the diet analogy well in telling how we can reach our financial goals by determining our net worth, cutting expenses, reducing debt, and saving more. She talks about financial goals such as retirement, children's education, buying a home, and buying big-ticket items such as a car. Her book's greatest strength is the material on controlling one's spending by tracking and reviewing where the money goes. Both the diet analogy and the use of easy-to-read and-use worksheets make this guide especially user-friendly. Recommended for public libraries.
