About this title

Synopsis

Lynn Brenner gets to the heart of success in personal planning with more than 80 smart questions to help you get first-rate financial advice that really fits your needs. Drawing on real situations described by readers of her weekly newspaper column. Brenner supplies an easy-to-follow guide through common dilemmas that arise in investing, getting married or divorced, buying or selling a house, planning your estate, and living on your 401(k) and IRAs in retirement - and tells you what expensive mistakes to avoid when you are buying insurance, minimizing your taxes, saving for college, and surviving unemployment.

Reviews

Personal finance columnist for Newsday and author of two other books on personal finance, Brenner organizes her new book around questions that would be asked of various financial advisers. She doesn't just give a single answer, however; in response to a question of which investments to make for college, for example, she explains the benefits and drawbacks of various popular college investments such as EE bonds. The book covers a lot of ground, but omissions occur. Life insurance is thoroughly covered, while auto insurance is left out completely; the cost of credit card interest is mentioned several times, but establishing and controlling credit is not discussed. Nevertheless, the clear explanations recommend the book for public libraries and for academic libraries where students are preparing for careers in financial services.?Lawrence Maxted, Gannon Univ., Erie, Pa.
