Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly
This is the rare financial book that's entertaining as well as informative. Whether helping individuals or couples to enumerate their personal finances, create a college fund or prepare for retirement, the Murray twins, money advisers on the Today Show, present basic advice in an easily digestible, often humorous way. According to these two financial paragons, saving for your future can be as simple as renting more movies and seeing fewer in the theater, driving cars longer and buying clothes that are less likely to go out of fashion. They also assure younger readers who are contemplating their golden years that they can achieve millionaire-status simply by saving around $60 a week, along with tips on preparing for involuntary retirement. Useful investing advice, including an in-depth description of the vagaries of money market options, round out this quick and lively must-read for financial novices. (June 27)

Can I Afford to Retire?
One of the most common questions we receive is, "Can I afford to retire?" Millions of Americans are growing increasingly concerned about their retirement. With questions about the solvency of social security as well as defined benefit pension plans, employees today are forced to plan for their own retirement. And, if you're 50 years old and want to retire at 60, you only have 240 paychecks left!
The time to start planning for a happy, healthy retirement is NOW!
How Can I Pay For My Children's Education?
It used to be that buying a house was your single biggest investment. Today, especially if you have more than one child, it's educating your children. With college and university tuitions increasing at three times the rate of inflation, how can moderate income Americans afford college? Sometimes, education bills start even earler, in preschool, when public education is not a viable option.
The good news is, especially if you start early, that it's not too late. With education accounts like Education IRAs and 529 College Savings Plans, you can prepare for the day your child enrolls.
How Can I Provide For My Aging Parents?
As if we boomers didn't have enough on our plates, what with rising tuitions for our kids, and questions about our own retirement security, now we're having to also take care of our aging parents. That's why they call us the "sandwich generation".
With improvements in healthcare and medical technology, we're all living much longer, and are faced with many difficult decisions regarding care for the elderly. It's a sensitive subject, and one that more and more of us will be confronting soon.
