Unlike most personal finance books, Get a Financial Life focuses exclusively on what you need to know when you’re just starting to pay serious attention to money matters. Whether you earn $20,000 or $200,000, Get a Financial Life will help you navigate the new world of personal finance. 

Since its first publication in 1996, the book has helped thousands of people get out of debt, start saving, and begin investing. This updated edition—expanded for the Internet age—includes the latest information on how to:

—Use the Web to find the best auto loans, mortgages, and credit cards

— Invest in the stock market profitably and painlessly

— Refinance your high-rate debt—and avoid hidden fees and traps

— Take advantage of the latest tax breaks—including deductions for student loans

—Build a serious nest egg with long-term savings plans like the new Roth IRAs 

You will also find classic, easy-to-understand advice on money basics—everything from 401(k)s to car leasing, from credit reports to life insurance, from buying the right mutual funds to buying a home of your own. As Beth writes in her introduction, "achieving your financial goals can be a lot easier than you think, as long as you take advantage of the one major benefit you still have on your side: time."
