"I've spent the past four years learning about personal finance. But none of the books I read were exactly the sort of thing I wished I'd had when I was struggling with money a decade ago," explained Roth, who founded GetRichSlowly.org in April 2006. "I wrote Your Money: The Missing Manual for people with everyday jobs and everyday worries; a book they could use to get their feet under them and actually get started with saving and investing."
You won't find any get-rich-quick schemes here, just sensible advice for getting the most from your money. And even if you have perfect credit and no debt, you'll learn ways to make your rosy financial situation even better.
Your Money: The Missing Manual walks you through all of the important stuff you need to know, including:
- What you need to make sensible decisions on saving, spending, and investing
- The best ways to set and achieve financial goals
- How to set up a realistic budget framework and learn how to track expenses
- Discover proven methods to help you eliminate debt
- Understand how to use credit wisely
- Win big by making smart decisions on your home and other big-ticket items
- How to get the most from your investments by avoiding rash decisions
- Decide how--and how much--to save for retirement
Your Money: The Missing Manual is aimed at folks at every financial stage, from students to homeowners and those facing retirement.
"Everyone worries about money. And it's tough to know what's the best course of action," said Roth. "My book can help readers make better decisions, find the tools to improve their financial situations, and, most of all, be happier about their relationship with money."For a review copy or more information please email maryr@oreilly.com.
