Expert Endorsements
Arthur F. von der Linden, Jr., CFP,® Founder and Principal, Wingate Financial Group, Inc. The most straightforward financial planning book you'll find. Understandable by the financially clueless yet extremely beneficial to those who have already begun. Unique conversational format. Unbelievable glossary!
B. Joseph Pine II, co-author, The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage I wish I could've read Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck when I was first starting out. But I can't wait to share Michael Rubin's wisdom with my daughters as soon as they join the workforce themselves. If you have any doubts whether this concise, cogent, and compelling book is for you (or your children), just read the preface. Now.
Generation X Finance blog: If there is a book that highlights the importance of financial planning at any age, and makes it accessible to those who may not have many resources to plan with, this is it.
Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck If there ever was a time to read Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck, it's now. Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck: A Conversation About Income, Wealth, and the Steps in Between (Total Candor)is a clear and concise conversation about personal finance that empowers you to take charge of your finances with confidence. The chapter Take This Book and Use It! has become my indispensable resource as I get my financial act together. There are a lot of personal finance books on the market, but I found Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck to be the most effective for me.
Well worth it Michael Rubin has provided and delivered an effective roadmap to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of personal financial security. Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck disperses uncommonly good sense in an interesting and easily understandable way. Bravo!
I didn't really learn anything I'm a 29 y/o -- I point that out because while I did not really take anything away from this book, someone 21/22 years old straight out of college may get a thing or two from it. It covers the basics of saving money, retirement plans, etc...
Total Money Makeover or Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck? Read this first! Having read both Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" and this book, I must highly recommend "Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck" to you.
It covers, in detail, many different aspects of personal finance (insurance, taxes, paychecks and 401(k) considerations, investing, debt, etc.) while maintaining a sense of humor throughout. Although "Total Money Makeover" does get one motivated to get out of debt, it does not supply the thorough education and background, which "Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck" does so well.
If you are looking for a basic/intermediate personal finance education- this is the book to start with. It is very practical and no-nonsense, without angrily clubbing you over the head with words like "stupid" and "idiotic" (as Mr. Ramsey likes to do in "Total Money Makeover"). Also, this book has a useful appendix with helpful websites and a glossary of terms.
A great read! Thank you Mr. Rubin!
Insightful, Intelligent, Engaging - Thank you Mr. Rubin Have questions about money, finances, wealth (or the absence of it!!) This is the book you'll wish you read a long time ago. I went from not even knowing I didn't know, through to moving in an excellent direction in comparatively no time at all (especially considering the years it took me to get as far wrong as I was!!) The Authors use of conversational writing coupled with enough humor to keep us non-financial types interested is nothing short of amazing. This book is not only an easy read but also an excellent gift. Again, THANK YOU Mr. Rubin
