It's clearly written, full of very useful information, and fun to read. I only wish I'd had it before I signed the loan contract. But, no worries, an email to the author, a quick reply, and I received more valuable advice. Don't get a home loan without reading this book first.             If It Doesn't Go Up, Don't Buy It!128 reviews Al Thomas Book Publishing Company (TN), 1999 Avoided the 2008 Bear I love this book for one reason -- it enabled me to avoid the bear market of 2008. Based on the advice in this book for using a simple 200 day moving average chart, I moved from stock mutual funds to cash in January, 2008, with minimal losses. Thank you, Al Thomas. After I lost about 40% in my retirement accounts in the 2000-2002 bear market, I decided to turn my back on buy-and-hold investing ...             The 29% Solution: 52 Weekly Networking Success Strategies38 reviews Ivan Misner, Michelle R.

(Not ...             The Spirituality of Success: Getting Rich With Integrity41 reviews Vincent M. Roazzi Namaste Publishing, 2001 a life-changer! I'm very selective about what I read and not easily impressed. When I heard Vinny on NPR I knew I had to buy this book.

Why? He practices what he preaches. He not only tells me how to network, and how to get more out of business and professional relationships, he does it himself. Other network authors are too busy networking with "important people" to network in my space (with the average, hard-working professional that we all work with) to really be ...             The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing53 reviews Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer, ... Wiley, 2006 Bogleheads: A Book That Makes Sense Out of Wall Street There is nothing like a Bear Market to get you to question a lot of things about the wonderful world of investing.

"Aiming at Amazon" by Aaron Shepard is my favorite book right now because I successfully used it to create my already written book, "The Magi of Futurity", and have it listed on Amazon.

Within two months after reading this book, along with Aaron's "Perfect Pages" book, I had ...             Smart Women Finish Rich139 reviews David Bach Broadway, 1998 His Grandmother Taught Him Well! Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well. I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out ...             Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur: What It Takes to Win in High-Stakes Commercial Real Estate65 reviews James A.

Yes, it's true that Amazon itself does a good job of being user-friendly for sellers, but for new-to-the-business folks like me, this is a terrific guide.

Those books either were for 40 year olds or never progressed beyond "How to write a check". But, Peter Bielagus' book is just right. He addresses all the concerns of a twenty year old and beyond with great advice and humor. Peter shows you how to budget without feeling restricted and ...             STOP THE PRESSES: The Crisis and Litigation PR Desk Reference29 reviews Esq. Richard S.
