Informed sources report that today's young people are more interested in money management than their predecessors--but on the whole remain frighteningly ignorant of the specifics involved. Got Money? Enjoy It! Manage It! by personal-finance writer Jeff Wuorio is a sassy but smart compendium of relevant advice for those in their 20s and 30s who would like to buck that latter trend. After addressing everyday fundamentals, including budget setting and bank shopping, it concentrates on more advanced aspects of individual economics, such as debt, investing, retirement planning, home buying, securing financial assistance, utilizing electronic resources, and preparing for taxes. It also contains tips on such frequently overlooked cash-saving practices as reworking onerous student loans, finding and acquiring adequate renter's insurance, and buying household staples in bulk. "Making the most of your money is not as complicated as particle physics," Wuorio writes. "Granted, some things are more complicated than others, but the lion's share of basic financial ideas and principles are within the intellectual reach of anyone." His book synthesizes a wealth of solid information into one handy resource, and does so in a way that newcomers to the world of finance and investing can easily understand and readily utilize. --Howard Rothman

The advice is sound, but the tone is playful and conversational.... Given the youthful target readership, the emphasis on Web sites and software that help readers understand the often arcane world of money and investing is no surprise. There are sites that help you check bond ratings.... Budgeting sites to help get a grip on your cash flow.... Sites to lead you to the world of financial planners... and the usual suspects for general investing information....
"Got Money? Enjoy IT! Manage It!" exclaims the cover. And while you will learn a great deal about how to do just that, the best thing this book has to offer is that comprehensive list of Internet resources. It can't be beat.
