Awesome book
I first read this in my early twenties, and now—over 30 years later—I’m getting it for my kids. It’s a timeless, effective way to grasp the fundamentals. Highly recommended for anyone starting out.

Recommended for everyone, regardless of your level of financial literacy
In this easy-to-use manual, financial educator Eric Tyson provides you with the very basic essentials to know when it comes to Personal Finance 101. After reading this book, I have learned a great deal of information about personal finance that I will now apply to my personal life to make me more financially sound. Eric Tyson teaches you everything from reducing your consumer debt to improving your credit score and red flags to look out for when it comes to financial advisors and financial planners with conflicts of interest.

Simple, solid adivce for secure investing
Bought earlier editions for myself and current version for my kid. I'm more than halfway to retirement and have been following Eric Tyson's advice for decades. It has worked well for me and steered me away from the high fee investments and from trying to time the market.

Great gift for college graduate
This book has been very helpful to us over the years. I am glad to see it has been updated. I give this book to college graduates before they start their first real job.

Personal Finance for Dummies
Have had various editions of this book since around 2000. Great for learning personal finance fundamentals. Updates keep the book relevant as well. Easy read with good examples.

Timeless advice with outdated stories and examples. Needs a refresh with a younger perspective.
Over 25 years ago, I bought this book as a young adult to help me get on track. At the time it was priceless. I became so interested in personal finance that I pursued a career as a financial advisor. Fast forward 25 years, a young relative was having financial challenges so my wife and I opened the door for her to stay with us while she went to community college, established a job, and get her life on a solid foundation. As part of our commitment, we are doing a book study with her using the latest version of this book. I can say the book is serving our purpose, but some examples and advice seem so outdated and not relevant to today’s kids. Fortunately, I can talk around these shortcomings with our student. However, if I was a young adult reading this book, I think it would be hard to stick to. Sometimes, I read the book and feel like an old man is lecturing a young kid, and having no clue what that kid is actually going through. That being said, the format and progression of advice is spot on and timeless. In my opinion, this book is due for a refresh by somebody who understands young adults today. The environment we live in today is far more complicated than what I experienced as a young adult 25 years ago.
