Customer Reviews

Excellent for young and older couples alike!

This book is easy and enjoyable to read. It offers great advice for both young and older couples. The suggestions are easy to follow, and the advice makes sense. Thanks for the great book!

Excellent wedding gift!!

I bought this book right after my wedding and it has helped my husband and I tremendously! It was so easy to read and understand and taught us things about financial stability that we would have never known without reading this book. We still use the book every year when we do our financial review and it has helped us get out of debt and stay on track to building a solid financial future. Every wedding I go to now, I buy this book as part of their wedding gift. Every newlywed couple should own it!!

A must have for mid-twenties (and older!) couples

This book is perfect to answer all of your questions when starting out in the 'real-world'. Follow the meetings between a fictional young couple and their financial planner as they discuss ideas and concepts that include buying a house/car, starting a family, what to think about before marriage (or money suggestions for unmarried couples), and tax saving and investing. Additional concepts that are addressed include student loans, bill sharing, debts, use of credit cards/checking accounts and history of and background of money and spending habits of each partner. This book is easy to read, packed full of related websites, thoughtful insight (and unbiased comments), and includes techniques to get you off on your own. This book is a must have!!

A must have for newlyweds!

As a newlywed couple, my husband and I were confused about how to get the best financial advice to plan for our future. When I started reading this book I couldn't put it down! It's written in an easy-to-read way and in layman's terms. It's not some boring financial book that will put you to sleep. It was very informative and gave very complete and practical advice on planning for the future. This book provides necessary advice for anyone, and is a must read for young couples or singles.

Great book on getting your finances together!

I think this book does a great job of walking you through the steps to get your finances together - and it's not boring like so many other finance books. Part of the book is following a young couple in their planning process which I think makes it easier to understand how the "to do's" are applied in everyday life (and makes it more entertaining!). My husband and I were married just over 2 years ago and we're expecting our first child soon, so this book definitely applies to us! I would highly recommend this book to anyone (regardless of age) who is trying to get on the right track with their finances!
