From the Author
My first and favorite book!
For many years I had dreamed of writing a comprehensive personal financial planning book which would teach the concepts and give solid answers to common financial quandaries. In my experience as a practicing financial counselor, I had seen how lack of knowledge had led many otherwise intelligent people down detrimental paths.

I have always believed that you can be your own best financial planner so I wrote this book to empower people to take charge of their personal financial affairs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Don't do what I did and buy this if you're in the UK. It's specific to the US and so of limited use in the UK.
I actually bought the kindle version by mistake after buying the UK version (Personal Finance and Investing All-in-One For Dummies) paperback.

In my opinion the Dummies series is the best line of reference books around(I own a dozen or so). Included in my collection is mutual funds for dummies, investing for dummies, and personal finance for dummies(all of which Eric tyson is the author). Although all of these books are informative readings, Eric's personal finance for dummies is the first I would recommend reading. Most of the "nuggets" that are in the other two books are in the personal finance book.
I don't know if Eric reads these, but I would like to thank him for his commitment to helping people like me. I have aready applied much of what I learned from him and feel extreamly confident about my financial future. THANKS ERIC!

I really enjoyed Mr Tyson's book. Very well written and enlightening. For even more strategies and also a easy read, I highly suggest Financial Self Defense by Charles Givens. Givens goes into areas left untouched by Tyson. Tyson and Givens books should be on everyone's bookshelf serious about their financial future. Read and grow rich.
