I have a lot of personal finance/investment books, but this one is the best or close to it. Tobias writes in an entertaining style to keep you reading and includes lots of great info. He explains all kinds of bonds and stock investment strategies that no other book I've read does. He also includes

info on retirement plans, college saving plans, etc and has a very good section on how to teach kids about money. If you want to read about personal investing, this is the book!!! Show Less

When I read this book in 1983 interests at least gave you some money. Now you can't count on even 3 per cent. Perhaps the most useful section for me right now is simply saving what I have.

I feel there are a lot of personal retirement books out there and this is just another one of them. They do a good job in the beginning showing different ways on the web to save money. That was at least a little helpful

Very basic primer on financial management.

I was concerned about picking up this updated version, having read the first one in the 70s when Tobias first wrote it, but was not disappointed for going through this quick read again. I picked it up because several of my 20-something children were asking for some good references as they begin
Tobias has updated it, and he speaks plainly about what has changed and what has stayed the same. I found the earlier parts of the book the most useful as they spoke to personal finance and planning. The latter part of the book focused on the stock market, and while very important to the investor, because of my age and experience in the market I was bored. I suspect that if my children read it that they too will be bored by those parts, and may skip over them. They really shouldn't, as they can learn something from Tobias here, but I found myself wondering if someone more "Cramer-like," bombastic, loud...might resonate more. I didn't find it the perfect book to recommend for those 20-somethings, but lacking a good substitute I suppose I will with appropriate caveats.
