Editorial Reviews
Review
“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, contributing editor, Bankrate.com
“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, Business and technology journalist
