Personal Finance After 50 For Dummies®
“Eric Tyson is doing something important – namely, helping people at all income levels to take control of their financial futures. This book is a natural outgrowth of Tyson’s vision that he has nurtured for years. Like Henry Ford, he wants to make something that was previously accessible only to the wealthy accessible to middle-income Americans.”
“Personal Finance For Dummies is the perfect book for people who feel guilty about inadequately managing their money but are intimidated by all of the publications out there. It’s a painless way to learn how to take control.”
“Eric Tyson … seems the perfect writer for a For Dummies book. He doesn’t tell you what to do or consider doing without explaining the why’s and how’s – and the booby traps to avoid – in plain English… It will lead you through the thickets of your own finances as painlessly as I can imagine.”
“This book provides easy-to-understand personal financial information and advice for those without great wealth or knowledge in this area. Practitioners like Eric Tyson, who care about the well-being of middle-income people, are rare in today’s society.”
“Worth getting. Scores of all-purpose money-management books reach bookstores every year, but only once every couple of years does a standout personal finance primer come along. Personal Finance For Dummies, by financial counselor and columnist Eric Tyson, provides detailed, action-oriented advice on everyday financial questions… Tyson’s style is readable and unintimidating.”
“This is a great book. It’s understandable. Other financial books are too technical and this one really is different.”
