“Please Send Money!” is a fantastic book for high school seniors to read before they go off to college and are confronted with financial situations of their own.
This book does a fantastic job of relating that material to the age group for which it was written. The book also includes many personal tales and accounts which aid the material come collectively. I feel it would be worthwile for anyone, especially college students, because it clarifies how to preeminent maintain a positive financial status. The preeminent thing about this book that is it’s simple to read and doesn’t drag on.
Even even if this book is about a dull topic, money, it really kept me entertained. The facts in this book are very necessary to know, and it taught me a lot. It made me very fearful of credit cards and bankruptcy. This book gives useful advice about maintaining a balanced budget, while still leaving room for fun. It also talks about investing early in the stock market.
The most useful section of this book is the the boards on saving. No savings is a common problem for students and this book deals a lot with how much and when to initiation saving. I liked how this book gave solutions for any teenager on any budget. It gave options such as investing only $2 per day and still becoming a millionaire by age 65. It seemed like there was someone for everyone.
Another very valuable the boards is that about investing in the stock market. The book discussed “not putting all your eggs in one basket” and diversifying your money. The preeminent section about this section was the book did not use only “Wall Street Lingo” but also common house terms. It was simple to know, and that is a huge positive for a financial book for college students.
This book was definately worth the [money] because in the end it could aid you to make millions. The only terrible this about this book was that it made me very fearful of credit cards and debt.

|Please Send Money,
As a NFCC certified credit counselor for over 17 years I feel this book will be an brilliant guide to aid teens and young adults avoid the pitfalls that come from a lack of financial culture. Dara’s book is comprehensive….It addresses every money question that could face a young adult….financing school, moving out, how much credit is safe to use, what to do if you make into distress, beginning investing, etc. This is a much needed book. Dara offers simple to follow charts and forms. She presents real life tales which aid people who are experiencing financial difficulties know they are not alone and that there is a way out.

|Review,
This book was excellent to read. It is very informative for young adults. I know that this will be very helpful to me next year at college. I liked this book because it was very helpful in demonstrating what should not be done when making personal financing. The only reason I did not give this book five stars was because while it did say what not to do, I only noticed four instances of when the book mentioned a person doing a touch right from the initiation. Throughout the book the author, Dara Duguay, would caution a person’s tale of how they screwed up their financing. Then she would clarify how that particular situation could have been better handled. In each of the four instances of someone handling their finances well, it was merely to compare that person to another that didn’t do so well.
Overall I liked the book. It gives excellent advice and is rather simple to read. The lessons the book tries to convey are understood quite well by its target audience (teens). I am glad that I read this book, I will take to sensitivity most of the lessons it teaches.
