"I had been reading several personal financial planning book when I discovered this one. I like the Balanced Money formula they use because it is practical (meaning that is leaves room for your extra expenditures that are wants more so than needs) and it is very do-able. i can say that this book, along with the accompanying worksheets, help you to get a clear view of your present financial situation and assist (step-by-step) in planning for your future. Great stuff all you have to do is get the info and apply it to your life."
— Jason (4 out of 5 stars)
“More clearly than anyone else…the authors have shown how little attention the nation and our government have paid to the way Americans really live.”
— New York Times“All Your Worth fills a dual role of economic rescue squad and financial trail guide with skill, humor, and plenty of practical assistance. If you have ever wanted a plan you could follow that focused more on the joyful side of responsible money management, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.”
— Better Investing magazine" I found this book to be the most straight-forward financial advice book I have ever read: it helped me set tangible goals for debt reduction and savings. Some books promise an easy way to wealth. This one does not - instead, it will help you establish a secure foundation that will help you build a more comfortable future. "
— Noah, 2/13/2014" Written by an accomplished mother/daughter team. I really appreciated this perspective on finances. I know there are many books out there on financial planning, etc., but this was actually a fun read as well as good food for thought. "
— Kat, 2/13/2014" I really enjoyed this simple plan to help people use their money more effectively. I wish they had given a little more thought to how to help people give money away "
— Jonathan, 2/12/2014" A quick read with basic financial information and great outlook using 50/30/20 rule. "
— Courtney, 2/8/2014" This is the first book of financial advice that I thought was a) not condescending ("Stop drinking $5 lattes every day, you moron"), b) easy to follow in a step-by-step way regardless of income (no, you don't have to save 10% for retirement, build a 6 month security cushion, and invest in stocks all at once), and c) acknowledges that some money must get spent on "fun" or you're not really living. I'm working on my new plan now... "
— Briana, 2/4/2014" This is right up there with Suze on the motivation scale. Really well-written and inspiring, as well as being informative. When you're not rich enough for a financial planner but you're not starving, this is for you. There's a healthy focus, it seems to me, on frugality so I'm really a fan. Great book to get you on your way. "
— J.M., 1/27/2014" so far it is GREAT "
— Kieran, 1/20/2014" I love the balance plan for how to handle your finances. It is truly unique and this is how I plan to balance my money when it comes to expenses. Really good book. Looking forward to reading her second book. "
— Dupsie, 12/31/2013" I learned a lot from the book. It was written in a way that was easy to digest and understand. Now it's time to put it into practice! "
— Winifred, 12/27/2013" Hands down my favorite finance book. Elizabeth Warren has an ability to see the large picture and distill it down to easy to understand and practical wisdom. The 50/30/20 split makes perfect sense regardless of where a person or couple is financially. It truly is a plan for a lifetime. "
— Gina, 11/21/2013" Very simple idea for a finance book. I liked the 50-30-20 anti-"latte factor" idea because it suggests that people are not just living to save money, they are using money to enjoy living. "
— Marcie, 11/21/2013" Down to earth view of getting your finances under control "
— Barbara, 10/25/2013" Confession: I have the worst author-crush on Elizabeth Warren. It's a little embarrassing. But MAN I love this book. It's straightforward, clear, entertaining, and probably my favorite personal finance book. "
— julie, 1/14/2011" Not as good at Two Income Trap, but if you are adverse to detail budgeting, this approach might work for you. Take a look. "
— Chade66, 6/11/2009" This will now be my number one recommendation for personal finance books. Perfect for any income level, marital status, starting point, knowledge base, anything. No drowning the reader in statistical models or information about complicated high end investment vehicles. Just an easy plan that works. "
— Erica, 9/18/2008" Was an okay money help book. I didn't really learn anything. I read the first 3-4 chapters, then scanned the rest. "
— Bethann, 11/2/2007" It's a good book about balancing your money in a way to save and be comfortable. Plus, if you are in debt... a clear way to get out. "

— Beth, 1/13/2006" One of the best books on money for the average person. We liked it so much we bought one copy for each of our children. The secret is to keep your money in balance between must haves, savings, and wants. "
— Denise, 12/22/2005" This is probably the simplest, most practical financial book. There's no going back to my old days. If you're always find yourself short on funds after paying all your bills, then this book is for you. This book will also help you get out of credit card debt. Seriously! "
