Financial decisions made easier.......2007-07-12
This book helped me to decide how to invest my retirement funds, and it is written simply and with definite recommendations. That was a great help and made my job of investing so much easier. I sent a copy to my daughter because I found it to be so helpful.
Finance.......2007-05-24
Great overview - wish I had read this when I was younger! Now I am going to
give it to both my children.
Excellent book...arrived in excellent condition.......2007-05-14
I originally borrowed this book from the library but after reading through it, I knew it was a title I wanted to own. As the title suggests, the book provides simple financial strategies, but they are by no means dumbed down or oversimplified. The author (Jane Bryant Quinn) stresses the importance of automating not only investing, but short-term saving and debt reduction as well.
I saved on this item by ordering one that contained a publisher's mark but was in otherwise new condition. The book arrived in exactly the same condition as was described. This turned out to be an inexpensive way to add this title to my personal library.
Financial Direction.......2007-05-10
This is a must-read for the person who is looking for some commonsense advice on managing their finances. Jane is straight to the point, and gives some great recommendations for investing
Excellent source for demystifying the investment world.......2007-03-31
Written in a friendly, no nonsense tone, Smart and Simple Financial Strategies for Busy People is an excellent resource for people who are trying to look ahead in their financial planning. Quinn covers a variety of investment options(mutual funds, indexed funds, CD's, stocks, etc) explaining the values and disadvantages of each. She makes recommendations and provides examples for a good investment portfolio for a variety of specific life circumstances.
I found her information on pre-paid college tuition fascinating(I'd never heard of such a thing!) and her descriptions of differnt IRA's immediately pertainent.
Let's face it, if you are considering this book, you are looking for the right way to invest your money and secure your financial future. This book provides the specifics for how much you need to invest and where in order to reach your desired retirement income. It provides the tools to do the calculations for your own circumstances, and addresses the life changes that could affect your planning.
Most importantly, this book delivers on simple strategies. You don't need to be Warren Buffet to implement these techniques. Once you open your accounts, this is something that can be managed once a month or once a year and can be done online in minutes. Electronic maintenance makes management so easy you'll wonder why you didn't start earlier. More importantly, your future self will thank you.
I highly recommend this book for people in the early stages of financial planning. I've purchased this book as gifts for family members and friends because it is such a good resource. My SO and I used this book as leap stone for financial discussions. Most importantly, I've used the techniques myself, to start my own retirement portfolio, savings account for home purchase, and a college fund for my unborn children.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Reading for New Investors!.......2005-04-26
I am 30 and completely new to the investment world. This book offered excellent investment advice for even beginning investors. I totally disagree with the first reviewer who said this book is for the rich. Even if some of the book speaks to people with a lot of money, it clearly explains what the different types of investments are, defines terms throughout in case you forget what the key terms are so you don't have to flip back through the book when you forget what he's talking about, and offers insite from someone who's very successful at what he does. It's a great guide to start with. I would recommend this book to all beggining investors. It's excellent!
personal finance.......2005-02-09
This is a great book on personal finance. When most people think of Charles Schwab, one of the biggest names in finance, they think of investing in equities. However, Schwab has chapters on mutual funds, fixed-income securities, and taxes. He talks about how to get started in investing, the importance of it, and how to invest to meet your goals and needs.
I use his services to manage my family's portolios online and it is cheaper than other services, unless you are a day trader. Other services require a minimum amount of trades per month, that is how they charge less for their trades. Schwab's services are ideal for anyone managing their IRA. You also get free S & P stock reports for companies, which gives you all of the historical data you need to make a wise decision. The previous reviewer didn't review the book, he reviewed the policies at Charles Schwab. If you are investing less than $10,000 and are trading more than a few times a year, taxes and transaction fees are going to eat up your returns no matter what. And since when is having $10,000 in savings rich?
This is a great book for beginners and people who need some guidance with respect to their retirement investments. Definitely worth reading.
pretends to be for all investors but is only rich investors.......2004-11-09
In his book Charles Schwab pretends to have opened his brokerage for American investors but it isn't for all because the Charles Schwab BROKERAGE REQUIRES $10,000 TO OPEN A BROKERAGE ACCOUNT FOR INDIVIUAL[retail] INVESTORS.Harrisdirect,Firstrade,Optionsxpress don't require anything to open a brokerage account for individual investors.
Amazon.com
Charles Schwab's Guide to Financial Independence: Simple Solutions for Busy People, by the founder of the pioneering discount brokerage firm that bears his name, is a nuts-and-bolts handbook for people who recognize the importance of investing, but know little, or nothing, about how to do it. Charts that illustrate complex financial concepts and worksheets that help readers prepare individual fiscal agendas keep the focus on making proper choices and developing workable plans. Utilizing his 40 years of financial experience, and relying completely on his admitted bias for stocks, Schwab explains the ins and outs of planning an investment, choosing the components and bracing for taxes, putting the plan into action, and preparing for future developments.
Book Description
When it comes to investing, most of us know where we'd like to be but not how to get there. We'd like nothing better than to sit down with an experienced professional who can guide us through the bewildering array of choices. Reading this easy-to-understand book is like having the founder and CEO of a $350 billion brokerage firm sit at your kitchen table and distill his 40-plus years of accumulated wisdom in a one-on-one session with you. You will learn how to:
Define and set investment goals
Prepare an investment plan, put the plan into action, and update the plan regularly
Plan for your children's education or your own retirement
Cope effectively with the ups and downs of the market
Make sure you'll have enough for a comfortable retirement
Customer Reviews:
maybe more stars, maybe less but I can't really say...........2002-03-23
Being one of the "super novice beginners" targeted by the book (read other reviews) I found it very interesting and enlightening.
What got me started was kiyosaki's rich dad (worth reading with reservations) but this was a very good second book to read. Since then I've been reading/researching (7 books, 4 magazines, 3 weeks) before I pull the trigger to actually dropping cash.
I'm not sure what an experienced investor would say but what the hell, from one beginner to the next, read it.
"Fire and forget" method for investing.......2001-08-23
If you want to secure your financial future with minimum hassle, don't want to become a stock-market expert, or spend any more time and money on the Wall Street stuff than is absolutely necessary, then this is the book for you. It tells you a very simple, but extremely efficient method for investing your money. It also tells you why and how to do it.
It does not cover everything there is to investing, hey it doesn't even cover 10% about it. But it covers enough to have a "fire and forget" way with investments. You can trust that the money you invest with this advice will keep up with the better half of the smart investors. And you can go on living and enjoying your life without too many financial worries.
An excellent book for the target audience.
Worth every penny and much, much more.......2001-04-26
Buy this book. I can't say enough good things about it. First, the book is extremely well written, and targets a specific audience, that many of us are in.
If you are not professional investor, and want to learn more about the basics of investing and about the different products out there, then read this book.
Charles Schwab takes your through a good squence of explaining different investment philosophies, tools, tricks, etc. He proves that you don't have to beat the market to make money, you just have to match it. Now, I have heard this before in other books, but the overall presentation and support for this, is much well represented in this book.
If you are starting out, or attempting to re-organize your finances, before you get a money manager or financial advisor, get this book. It will definitely save and make you money. You will learn how to invest within your comfort level, and by the end of the book, the stock market and investing will be demystified.
You will regret not reading this book. I think this would also make a good gift.
A Simple Introduction to Investing in Financial Assets.......2001-02-16
This book is an almost ideal introduction for the person who doesn't want to think very much about investments, but would like do better than with a certificate of deposit in a bank.
The book favors financial assets (not too surprising, given that Mr. Schwab's company is the leading discount broker), but he offers a number of time- and trouble-saving reasons for that. The book is supported by a number of quantitative analyses, questionnaires, model portfolios, and personal examples from Mr. and Mrs. Schwab's experience. The book is well written and clear.
The book is in three major parts. In part one, he argues in favor of why the growth potential of stocks gives them long-term advantages over many other asset classes, and takes you into setting your goals. In part two, he explores which types of investments will work best for what you want to accomplish. Using your goals, he helps you adapt the assets you buy to fit your circumstances. In part three, he describes how to get started and maintain your strategy.
The best part of the book comes in the way it uses questionnaires to help you develop your financial goals, risk preferences, and financial time frame. Then the book gives you financial portfolios (based on historical studies described in Stocks for the Long Run) to match up with your situation. You could easily spend quite a bit of money with a financial advisor to do this for you without getting a much different result.
I also liked the way the book directly takes on the problem of market fluctuations and the emotional tendency to buy high and sell low into account. For those with shorter timeframes and lower risk tolerances, Mr. Schwab recommends buffering the fluctuations by having an asset allocation into less volatile securities (although those that will earn lower returns).
But still, the book could use more advice on how to overcome emotion. Telling you to "learn to keep a tight rein on your emotions" will not be enough for many people. This problem will be compounded by Mr. Schwab's insistence that "timing is a very minor player in the larger scheme of investing." Tell yourself that if you had just bought a lot of technology and dot com stocks in March 2000 and held them until now.
I think that timing (even if you are going to buy and hold indexed mutual funds -- something that is highly recommended here) is important. If you buy into an index (or stocks or other financial assets) at a relatively low price, you will spend less time being upset about the volatility of your investment. Since the average asset class is highly volatile on an annual basis, you can at least try to get in near the low of the last 12 months.
That will have a big impact on your psychology as you get started. As Mr. Schwab points out, the biggest mistake is not investing at all. Concern about lack of time and feeling intimidated about making a mistake keep people from getting started. Setbacks cause people to retreat from investing. He encourages a minimum five-year buy-and-hold period to allow growth to bail out any near-term losses.
I think that Mr. Schwab writes off investing in your own business or in real estate much too quickly. My suggestion is that you read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to get the opposite point of view on those investment classes.
For a better look at using indexed mutual funds, I recommend John Bogle's Common Sense About Mutual Funds, which is more thorough than this book. You may decide to avoid picking individual stocks when you know more about the track record of trying to find mutual fund managers and stocks that outperform the indices.
A good lesson from this book is that we must pay attention to important subjects, or face the consequences. Where else in your life are you paying too little attention? How can you get the information to overcome your stalled thinking and behavior?
May your life be filled with riches from the attention you place on making good decisions!
A superb introduction to investing.......2000-08-09
Schwab, of discount brokerage fame, has written an easy to read introductory guide to savings and investment. None of his material is unique or new - it is similar to that presented by Suzie Orman and the Dummies guides. Nonetheless, Schwab's book is probably better for new investors because he uses plenty of charts, graphs and personal examples, and presents it all in a very user-friendly format. The theme is basically not to jump in with both feet, but to do as much as you can. There are a few gratuitous plugs for his brokerage firm, but the book is definitely not one big advertisement. This book is well recommended for first-time investors and recent college graduates about to start their first job (good graduation gift). It is not recommended for people who are already in the stock market or who already own mutual funds and regularly invest - you already know what is in this book.

A Quick and Easy Reference for Personal Finance Basics.......2000-09-16
This is a nicely laid out book which provides basic information on a wide variety of personal finance topics in an easy to use and understand format. Among the many topics is information on how to get more out of your current income, advice on insurance and annuities, and the benefits and pitfalls of investing in real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and treasury issues.
A nice feature is the inclusion in every chapter of a section called "Fast Forward." This is in reality a quick reference summary of major points of the chapter. Busy people sometimes don't have time to read the whole thing.
Another intersting feature is the use of easy to recognize icons to call the reader's attention to areas in which there might be a question or special information. Sprinkled throughout are icons of a pensive scientist with "Expert Advice." Here there tips on such things as using credit for meeting emergencies, using 401k's and IRA's to accumulate savings, and where to find yields on government securities. Caution signs warn about possible repercussions of taking a specific course of action. Important definitions are signaled with an icon of amuscle man. Finally, and icon of two musical notes calls attention to "margin notes" on various items of interest.
This book succeeds very well in its intended purpose. It serves as a quick introduction to many important areas of personal finance without bogging down in complicated theories and charts, gives some very helpful basic advice, and serves as a handy reference book for further study.

Many people are still not overly comfortable with a computer. If you count yourself in that group, Peter Weverka has written Quicken 6 for Windows for Busy People to enable you to quickly use Quicken to manage your finances on your computer without a great deal of stress.
Each chapter begins with a "Fast Forward" section that tells you how to perform tasks in a few simple steps. Each task is covered in more detail later in the chapter. Although the approach is folksy, the book covers all the functionality of Quicken 6. This four-color book offers a user-friendly approach that more sophisticated users may not appreciate.
Book Description
The book teaches readers how to be wise users of Quicken, and, just as importantly, it is organized in such a way that users can quickly find instructions for the tasks they want to do. It supplies just the right blend of skills and shortcuts so users can get up to speed with Quicken immediately and enjoy its timesaving new features-like paying bills online-something every busy person can appreciate.

A great overview.......1999-04-02
Like the title says, this book is definitely for people who do not want to pour hours into a manual to learn Quicken. The organization of the chapters, with a Fast Forward section that specifies succintly how to accomplish things in Quicken, is superb.
New users of Quicken and computers in general will find this fact-filled and visual book easy to read and understand. Current users of Quicken will find it easy to browse the book and go to a specific subject. It also contains sections on short-cuts and how to customize Quicken to suit your needs.
Good book even for seasoned users.......1998-01-03
I have been using Quicken for about a year, having read only the manual on occasion. I came across this book at the local library and decided to check it out. I found the book an easy read and well thought out. Most of the material was review for me but I did find a few gems of wisdom which made reading the book worthwhile. All in all a good book for someone new to Quicken or someone who has been using Quicken for a while and wants to go beyond the skimpy manual which comes with Quicken. Quicken contains some nice features which aren't explained in the manual.

This fast-paced book takes you on a whirlwind tour of Quicken 99 software, showing you how to perform the main tasks that Quicken users need to know. While its colorful format is welcoming to new users, the book does not supply a screen shot for every step; users who have a bit of familiarity with the interface may have better success than complete novices.
The book begins by showing you how to set up an account and record transactions within it. Once you are comfortable with the basics, Quicken 99 for Busy People tells you how to categorize transactions and customize some of the features within your account. The middle chapters of the book instruct you on how to reconcile your accounts, write and print checks, and take advantage of the timesaving online options that Quicken offers for paying bills and following accounts. In addition, you will learn how to set reminders, run reports, track loans and assets, perform household budgeting, manage investment activity, and estimate your taxes.
This guide draws attention to expert advice, timesaving tips, cautions, and word definitions. Color screen shots and illustrations make the examples easy to see, but savvy users may find the cartoon-like drawings to be condescending. --Cristina Vaamonde
