Reviews: Cash, Cars, and College

Cash, Cars and College by Janine, Bolon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A very quick read and a bit pricey for how small it is if you ask me. Thankfully I was able to find it with an inter-library loan. I did enjoy it and think my teens should read it. I've heard of many of her principles before, but she explains the 40/60 principle for teens, which I have not heard before.

All through the book I kept wondering about what she recommends for adults. Of course, at the end I find out she does have a book for adults Money...It's Not Just for Rich People!. I guess I'll have to check that one out next.

One thing I liked was that she suggests that people read a new book about money every 3 months. I think I read one every 2 years. Maybe if I step it up on reading books about money I'll get better at how I manage our money. I do wish I had learned these principles as a youth...my money life would have been a LOT better.

The #1 con I see with this book is she keeps referring to "The Universe". I am a Christian woman and I feel a bit offended by suggesting that the Universe has power to make money come into my life. Just for that I had to bring the book down in rating and give this note to future readers.
