99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live - Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School?

I teach an Intro. to Finance class for college students and have used this book for 3 semesters now. Students love the book and on post-course surveys consistently rate it as one of their favorite parts of the class. It is easy to read, affordable, and has excellent basic finance recommendations for folks that are just starting out on their own. I do not agree with everything Siegel has to say and I think culturally his perspective is that of a wealthy white guy, but his 99 principles are overall, good solid advice for anyone learning to manage their own money, and a good starting point for students to discuss finances in general. The topics he discusses are ones that many of us as adults have probably experienced either good or bad, but for young adults they have not even thought about most of these topics.

I give copies of this book to college graduates. Easy to read in short segments with 99 chapters. Each one can be read in less than five minutes. Good way to get young adults beginning their careers to stop and think strategically about the future.

This book was very straightforward and easy to read - great read! I found the information very helpful and would recommend to anyone interested in learning about money, saving, and everyday principles to incorporate into their daily life!

This book about personal finance is written for high schoolers and college youth. It is a most useful book for helping kids understand their finance responsibilities in life. It touches on just about every aspect of life from credit cards and checking accounts to making decisions about marriage, having children, establishing values. The most common sense read I have seen. Yes, I wish I'd had this when I was raising my kids. I've purchased 5 or 6 of them for grandchildren and there are more coming along. Worth every penny!

This is really an excellent book for the Young Adult or the older adult who hasn't quite learned it from life experience yet. I bought this book almost a year ago for my daughter who was turning 18 based on the content and reviews. I was so impressed with the book when it arrived, and I perused it myself....wishing I had been taught this myself in the long ago....that I just bought another for my son, who is also about to turn 18.
I think this book is a perfect choice as a gift! It offers good and sound advice in regards to financial decisions....and who doesn't need that?
