Julie September 21, 2008
Heard a great write up on the blog from Simple Dollar. Gave it to my daughter who will be going away to college next year. Haven't been able to read it yet with her.
INVALUABLE April 9, 2008

"Please Send Money" has saved me so much time and money! Secrets and habits of living in our material world solved... or at least explained so that we can benefit from others experiences before finding ourselves upside down in the financial world. Before learning how to drive a car, shouldn't we learn how to purchase one? Before spending four years in college shouldn't we learn how student loans and credit card debt will effect our lives? Shouldn't we know what salaries are available for each profession before we head that direction? It's all here.
If Money were no object or an easy topic to discuss with friends and family we would all share this knowledge early in life. Unfortunately, the stakes are high and those in the know have the advantage. Get that advantage for yourself, family and friends by reading and discussing this book with young adults and those of us who could use an easy to follow, interesting and engaging refresher. Learn for yourself many of life's most valuable financial secrets.

GREAT GRADUATION GIFT! April 3, 2008

I've been giving out the first edition of this book for years and I'm glad it's been updated and made fresh again. This is a great gift for High School, or any grade, graduation to help young people learn how to be smart about their money. The book has so much terrific advice that even parents, coaches, aunts and uncles, or friends of teens can learn from some of the horror stories to help protect and prepare the young people in their lives financially.
