"Liked it. Liked it alot. I will come back to this book for reference. Practical, simple, and straightforward. "
— Karin (4 out of 5 stars)
" somewhat interesting topic, but for a financial book it was just alright. "
— Cynthia, 1/21/2014" I was a little disappointed. I really like hearing what she has to say on news shows, but this was really basic. I don't think I came away with anything new. I am on a mission to try several of her others and see if something comes up, though. "
— Mary, 12/30/2013" Was disappointed with this book. I've read her articles in magazines and had always liked what I had read. This book just seemed to rehash and not very well basic principles. We all need to save, you need to take some calculated risks with your money and work harder when there is a benefit to come from it, etc. "
— Debbie, 12/30/2013" It doesn't have too many original concepts, but it was still great to read about it. "
— Andrienne, 10/21/2013" I know what kind of book Jean Chatzky wanted to write but this was executed so horribly. "
— Caroline, 10/15/2013" I liked the interviews. Otherwise the book didn't say anything new. Maybe i would have liked it better if it were the first financial book i read. "
— Karin, 10/3/2013" Thought this would be a fun, distracting read. It was neither. Poor impulse buy at the airport. "
— Nathan, 8/30/2013" I found this book a little boring, interesting at times, but nothing more. "

— Gemma, 3/19/2013" Easy read from library, good tips. "
— Natalie, 11/8/2012" I think that I would need to do more personal work - tracking spending etc - to get the full value from this book but the central premise that happier, slightly risk-taking people end up wealthier makes sense to me. "
— Rebecca, 9/7/2012" I didn't enjoy this book as much as her others. Rather than suggesting things to do to better your financial situation, this book focuses more on who you are. This would be a good gift for a new, young college grad, though. "
— Jill, 2/12/2012" Lot's of great information! I highly recommend for all to read. "
— Jennifer, 12/29/2011" Liked it. Liked it alot. I will come back to this book for reference. Practical, simple, and straightforward. "
— Karin, 12/5/2011" One of the better wealth and success books I have read, and I have read a lot of them. "
— Nathan, 11/29/2011" I was disappointed in this book. A lot of vague ideas and generalities that failed to inspire or impress. "
— Heidi, 10/10/2011" Great book, helped me focus on financial and personal goals, as well as think about deep things. Great! "
— Amy, 7/23/2011" One of the better wealth and success books I have read, and I have read a lot of them. "
— Nathan, 3/31/2011" It doesn't have too many original concepts, but it was still great to read about it. "
