Written specifically for people in their 20s and 30s and who don't feel like they are in control of their financial life, Beth Kobliner has written one of the best personal finance books currently available. Get A Financial Life shows anyone how to manage money and make it grow. It teaches how to refinance high-rate credit cards and student loans; invest in the right mutual funds; find low-cost auto loans and mortgages; make the most of tax deductions; and use tax-advantaged savings plans to build a serious nest egg towards eventual retirement -- especially when Social Security is under heavy stress by the time the 20 & 30 year olds are entering their retirement years. Get A Financial Life is "must" reading for young adults -- and has a lot of solid information for the 40 and over crowd as well! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

专业书评 From Library Journal
For twentysomethings and thirtysomethings, controlling one's financial life is a challenge many times exacerbated by a lack of knowledge about how money works. Author Kobliner, herself under 30, has assembled an excellent collection of basic money management principles and has specially tailored this presentation to the particular interests of these age groups. She discusses investing in mutual funds, tax-deferred savings plans, staying away from ATMs, legal tax deductions, understanding the minimal return on bank passbook savings accounts, tearing up credit cards, 401k plans and IRAs, and other important topics. Kobliner, who narrates her own work, emphasizes the personal discipline required to implement these sound suggestions, an example of her keen insights with this targeted audience and her experience as a contributor to Money magazine. This neatly summarized material?short and sweet, just like this age group will want?nicely accompanies such well-known works as The Beardstown Ladies' Common-Sense Investment Guide (Audio Reviews, LJ 4/15/96) and Dave Ramsey's solid Financial Peace (Penguin Audiobooks, 1996). This will be a useful addition to all public libraries.?Dale Farris, Groves, Tex.

From AudioFile
This information-dense program has valuable financial lessons to offer the new grad/early career set. Kobliner imparts wisdom on such topics as life insurance, mutual funds and the importance of saving. Despite clear efforts to make the presentation more lively, the facts and figures flow so quickly that they overwhelmed this reviewer. This abridgment is trying to achieve too much. Any of the financial topics covered merits an entire tape of its own. A.G.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist
As one grows older, it becomes increasingly apparent that the oft-repeated admonishment that it is never too early to start saving money is all too true. But the young are often disinclined to think about growing older, and they usually cannot "afford" to start setting money aside. Kobliner, herself a barely thirtysomething who writes for Money magazine, attempts to reach younger readers by speaking their language and tailoring fairly standard financial counsel to the needs and circumstances of those just starting out on their own. Included in her advice on budgeting, credit, banking, investing, retirement planning, home buying, insurance, and taxes are tips on car loans, credit cards, ATMs, bank accounts, mutual funds, retirement savings plans, apartment renting, and paying back student loans.
