Publisher Description

For previous generations, living within your means was a simple formula. Now, with the staggering rise in health-care, medical, and housing costs, millions of people find themselves skating from paycheck to paycheck with no idea how to move forward.

As the most read personal finance columnist on the Internet, Liz Weston has heard the questions and has the answers. Her 10 Commandments of Money will help listeners avoid critical mistakes, survive the bad times, and thrive in the good ones. Just a few of Weston's invaluable pointers include how to:

–Balance Your Budget

–Pay Down Toxic Debt

–Get the Right Mortgage

–Pay for College

–Save for Retirement

–Maximize Your Financial Flexibility

Liz Weston's goal is to provide the practical guide to the brave new world of money. What Sylvia Porter's Money Book was to the 1970s, The 10 Commandments of Money will be for the 2010s.

Quotes

  • “A wonderful basic personal finance book.”

    — New York Times

  • “Each chapter is a holy commandment of how to live a good financial life…Clear a space on your bookshelf—one that’s easy to reach.”

    — USA Today

  • “Financial columnist Weston provides a workable happy medium between fear and fecklessness…Loaded with tips and ideas and illustrated with plenty of examples, this book hits all the major themes for total financial literacy in a conversational, digestible tone…A godsend for the financially befuddled, bewildered, or just plain anxious.”

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “This book is money manna from heaven, and Liz Weston is the financial sage of our times. She’s revised the tired truths about finances and offers up smart, timely advice on paying off debt, investing for retirement, setting up a real-world budget for years to come, and more. I’d follow her anywhere!”

    — Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life

  • “Heather Henderson’s pleasing performance is a steady presence in this up-to-date guide to managing money. Her reassuring voice strikes the right balance between sounding perky enough to give the reading a personality and mature enough to make listeners respect the information and advice. Her delivery is a soothing vehicle for unfolding the author’s wisdom…Weston is a detail-oriented, broadly experienced financial journalist. But she writes in a person-to-person manner that, with the help of Henderson’s friendly reading, will speak to listeners’ deeper feelings and shake up their most stubborn financial habits.”

    " Weston didn't offer a lot for retirees like me but, skimming the book, I think she probably presents a decent guide for those trying to get a handle on their finances. "

    " It was an okay audio book. Speaker was great, a woman, with a calming and soothing voice. Most of the stuff shared, I already read in the past or heard, or experienced through trial and error. I only took a short passage of notes. "

    — Adrienna, 4/7/2013

    " Common sense advice for financial security in the post bubble economy, albeit a bit repetitious. "

    " This was a good overview regarding the various aspects of personal finance. I did learn several new items, which I found helpful. There were a few chapters that don't apply to me now, but was good background for the future. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Workmanlike explanation of many personal finance topics. But while the book claims an emphasis on post-collapse paradigms, I found much of the advice to be the old tried-and-true. Nothing groundbreaking, but all solid advice. "

    — Brenda, 11/15/2012

    " I've been on a personal finance kick lately, and this is one of the better ones i've read. It's as straightforward and basic as it gets, which is great for someone like me who is still learning. "

    " Listened to this book on cd...definitely gave me a lot of good info regarding finances and investing and such. Some of it was a bit ahead of me with home buying, etc, but in general, had a lot of great saving ideas. Will prob read/listen to again at some point! "

    " Listened to the audio book. It was pretty good. She does a good job of explaining the differences between how the old school thoughts were verses the 90's thoughts versus today's ways of looking at financial decisions (i.e buying a house, saving for retirement, etc.) "
