1: Good but...
This book has some good tips and ideas, my favorite being to figure out what's important to you before you figure out how to budget your money. Sounds simple, but sometimes we get so caught up in paying off debts, saving and investing, that we forget to live in the moment. I've already made some changes based on her advice, by drastically cutting back on eating out and putting that money towards a trip to Europe next year (so much more rewarding than a few sushi dinners).
One annoyance - she says that renters are wasting their money and that everyone should be a homeowner. Then she proceeds to say that her parents paid for her condo. Who should I ask to help me, my deceased father or my mother who lives off $10,000 in Social security checks per year? Some of us have to do it on our own, and that means paying rent instead of drowning in mortgage payments. I think it's a huge mistake for young people to buy homes too soon. Rent isn't "wasting money", it's paying for a place to live.

3: You're So Money
Great book for everyone. It's written to the 25-30 year old, but it's great advise to all.

4: You're SO Money
Farnoosh Torabi writes an easy reader with clever ideas and a fresh view. You should pick up this book for yourself, especially if you're a young adult or have teenagers entering college.

5: Great Read!!!!
You're So Money is a great read if you are looking for inspiration to straighten out your personal finances, get rid of personal debt and restructure your spending habits. The book hits many areas in advice on how to shop for our everyday needs and wants as well as how to look for opportunities of making money outside our 8 to 5 jobs to achieve our 'good life' equation. Definite recommended buy! I enjoyed every chapter and its written for those of various ages struggling to have all aspects of their personal finances fall in place.
