Money Doesn't Grow on Trees?!: An Indispensable Guide to Money (Indespensable Guides)

This is a wonderful gem of a book that helps to teach everyone, the young, the old, and the newly migrated people, all the NEEDs-TO-KNOW about money.

Dont get me wrong, this is basic knowledge stuff about balancing your budget, and saving enough to finance different stages of life that many people take for granted. From saving for that ohhhhh so WOW dress, or the hip iPhone, to a university expenses know-how and even the , and retirement investing, kid future school fund stuff. It even covers what is savvy shopping, what is false "deals" and how to avoid being a sucker.

Now I will add that the author does mix God into the valuable advice on occasion. But it is not disruptive of the practical advice, nor does it particularly help any given situation. However it does no harm to, as the author say, "reflect on your financial situation, and seek Gods guiding hand" ... Though I personally feel that in a self-help book of such magnitude, there is really no need to invoke God. The book is excellent for anyone seeking to understand how to exist in an American financial system, and it helps to understand American culture through its money. Highly recommend!
