THE MONEY BOOK FOR THE YOUNG, FABULOUS & BROKE

A fast-moving introduction to credit scores opens this information-packed money lesson for young adults. Wasting no time on padding her own reputation (she doesn't need to), the irrepressible author offers advice so clear that it makes sense right away even when it conflicts with conventional wisdom. She doesn't spend much energy schmoozing listeners--rather, she tells them what to do and moves on. Excellent material is included on student loans, establishment of a credit history, home buying, taxes, insurance, small business financing, paying down debt, and many other issues. Toned down from her TV persona, Orman sounds like a "regular" person and offers convenient summaries of her major points after each segment.
