Book Reviews of Your Money Matters: 21 Tips for Achieving Financial Security in the 21st Century

Book Review: Good book that gives advice on all personal finance areas
Summary: 5 Stars

I realize that this book was written about 8 years ago, but I still think it is an excellent overview of all areas of personal finance. It also helps that the author shares his sense of humor throughout the book to keep things from getting too dry.

This book contains many topics I've read before such as the importance of spending less than you earn and how to get out of debt. Information that was new to me included: tax-advantage investing; importance of putting together a will, living will, living trust, etc; ways to go about estate planning; and annuities (including charitable annunities). This is the first book I've read that covers all of those areas and I learned quite a bit.

It was rather interesting to read this book several years after it was written as the author had some advice (such as not investing your 401k in company stock) that really rings true now (post-Enron!).

After reading the book I have put together a "to-do" list of actions I plan to take from things I learned. So, I think it was very, very useful. The book was not as detailed as some I've read, but it contained enough to provide useful, thought-provoking information. The author lists resources and websites where more information can be obtained, if needed. I will have to look for more recent books by this author to put on my TBR (to-be-read) list!

Summary of Your Money Matters: 21 Tips for Achieving Financial Security in the 21st Century

Jonathan Pond, one of the nation's most respected financial advisers and host of the weekly public television series "Your Financial Future with Jonathan Pond," claims that dealing with money can be easier than you ever imagined-and proves it in Your Money Matters. In easy-to-understand, jargon-free style, Pond shows readers how to take advantage of the exciting financial opportunities of the 21st century-and offers in-depth information on tomorrow's financial trends.

Jonathan Pond answers readers' most pressing financial questions including:

? Is it too late to invest in technology stocks?
? Which retirement plans are best?
? Why should I make extra payments against my mortgage when I can earn more by investing the money instead?
? How much can I safely withdraw from my retirement funds and not have to worry about running out of money?
? and more!
Your Money Matters, by prolific financial author and TV commentator Jonathan Pond, proposes a 21-point money-management program for those nearing retirement age as well as those for whom retirement is still a distant consideration. With humor and a clever division of the particulars into tip-packed chapters bearing such titles as "Live Beneath Your Means (Without Depriving Yourself)," "Learn How to Tolerate Your Loved One's Annoying Financial Habits," and "Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, but Pigs and Lambs Get Slaughtered," Pond dispenses a wealth of practical data on handling "the most important financial matters that you'll need to attend to in the 21st century." A bold claim, but one backed up with a slew of sensible suggestions for increasing your savings and apportioning the resultant nest egg to provide comfortably for your future needs. Along the way, Pond offers opinions and outlines applicable strategies on issues including technology stocks as a viable investment, the need for long-term-care insurance, and the best ways to fund a child's education or the care for an aging parent. He also includes pointers to pages on his Web site that offer additional information on health-insurance plans, home-equity loans, investment-allocation procedures, and many other supportive issues. --Howard Rothman
