Review: This book is worth your time and money, even when written for USA citizens - This book is precise and to the point, how to handle your finance, which steps to do and what to look out for. It is a instructions book, which was clever researched, every detail you need is written for you, which website to go, where to call, what to say. It is not only good and great for beginners, it is good knowledge. It gives you ideas how to do better with your finances. Review: Directed solely to those living in the US - This book does have some helpful points in it for sure but I was disappointed to learn that it's geared solely at those living in the US and so all the tips and information doesn't relate to the way things work in Canada. Wish I had known that but ah well .

Directed solely to those living in the US
This book does have some helpful points in it for sure but I was disappointed to learn that it's geared solely at those living in the US and so all the tips and information doesn't relate to the way things work in Canada. Wish I had known that but ah well .

Not really useful for europeans
It is a book clearly written for united states citizen. It has reference to the US labour and rent law, or the way of living of americans (eating out, mobile homes etc...) The most interesting part is the discussion about how useful it is to buy a house and what advantages and disadvantages it has. But there as well you need to adapt it to european context. If you live I europe I would not suggest it.

Not for indian lifestyle and policies.
This book repeats that you maintain a good credit score and gives reference to various websites for cross verification. Also it is focused on American policies. So an Indian reader might not be able to connect also I found most of the content very basic and repetitive.
