 Necessary Reading for New Young Couples March 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jim Cramers most recent book as an absolute "required reading" for young married couples. If they apply the principles demonstrated in this book, they will be well prepared financially for the future and retirement.
Must read for learning personal finance basics March 4, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I consider myself a reasonably savvy person when it comes to basic finance. With that said, I wish I read this book when I was in high school or college. Although I watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money frequently and sometimes question his over-the-top approach on his TV show, 'Stay Mad for Life' is a great book to go through and review the fundamentals of personal finance. To me, this should be the first Jim Cramer book you should read.
Cramer's book titles often flash the word 'rich' and he frequently reminds you that he will make you rich in his book, but I applaud the way he does it. Cramer frequently stresses that you must take care of the basics first, such as getting out of debt, putting retirement ahead of toys, and making sure you take responsibility for your financial future. He does not say do exactly A,B and C and everthing will be great. He also emphasizes that you need to question everything, including him.
I especially appreciated Cramer's dissection of mutual fund fees, especially 12b1 and front-end/back-end loads. If you know what these things are, this book may be too basic for you. If you don't, you'll find Cramer's Mad for Life a good start in personal finance. After reading it, I called my financial advisor, reviewed my portofolio and adjusted it. Cramer's book made me sit up and scrutinize my personal finances. And that is exactly what each person who wants to 'Get Rich, Stay Rich' needs to do.

Everyone planning ahead needs this text. Young savers need to watch what they invest in and be more aggressive in the early years. Cramer explains types of investments to start with and to use the best that is available to you.
 Cramer's best effort yet February 13, 2008
Most people who try to follow Cramer's advice on his television program or in his earlier books will lose a lot of money. His success as a workaholic hedge fund manager does not translate into making money for his viewers despite his good intentions. This book (written with input from others) offers more standard sensible financial advice on saving and investing in a more conservative way than on "Mad Money". There are many other similar works out there and this one differs only in that a few "Cramerisms" slip through and that specific stocks and mutual funds are mentioned. Beware in following the stock picks though as if you watch his show you will find out that Cramer can change his view on a stock almost in the same sentence.
Honest and truthful about money, February 8, 2008
The book is an honest no BS kind of book telling people who know little or nothing about money what is going on. Also the more you read the more you want to know. Its not about being a savvy trader, its about consistant common sense approach to making and saving money. Good book for people seeking advise about budgets, market function and saving for a future.
Thanks
