Description
From AudioFile Like the other Smart Guide audios on investing and retirement planning, this is a well-written lesson that will make sense to everyone.

Good money management is controlling your money so that you use it for the things that are really important to you--now and in the future. It's about how to finance a home, buy all types of insurance, minimize taxes, buy durable goods, and invest for the future. While the substance of the audio is comprehensive, it seems too condensed in this 90-minute format. Also, in contrast to the audios of financial authors whose personalities are ever-present, this one sounds homogenized--like it was written by a committee. Good information, but not a memorable listening experience. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine Product Description An introduction to money management covers topics such as banks, credit cards, credit reports, mortgages, insurance, investments, taxes, and estate planning.

Portfolio management, how the various investments work, and the pros and cons of various types of investments are also examined.
