On My Own Two Feet: A Modern Girl's Guide to Personal Finance

On My Own Two Feet: A Modern Girl's Guide to Personal Finance Review

Sure, most young women would love to live a carefree lifestyle filled with lunches, Louis Vuitton and lattes, but what many don't know is that doing so can lead to a serious financial breakdown down the road. "On My Own Two Feet" teaches young women what they need to know about savings in language that matters and makes sense to them. Financial planners Manisha Thakor and Sharon Kedar will show readers how to: make a budget; avoid the perils of imprudent credit card use; invest for the future by harnessing the magical power of compounding interest; guard against the unexpected with the appropriate types of insurance; and prepare for the future. By offering women the key 20 per cent of financial advice (minus the complex mumbo jumbo) that drives 80 per cent of a person's financial wealth, the authors will show women that the sooner they learn to apply these basic strategies, the more likely they are to achieve the typical lifetime financial objective of owning a home. Along with other financial objectives, it provides for oneself and/or a family, being able to take fun vacations (and yes, wear designer labels), and retiring in comfort - free of financial stress. Succinct, straightforward, and visually appealing "On My Own Two Feet" will redefine "personal finance 101" for women in their 20s and 30s.

Among the library of investment books promising no-fail strategies for riches, Benjamin Graham's classic, The Intelligent Investor, offers no guarantees or gimmicks but overflows with the wisdom at the core of all good portfolio management.

The hallmark of Graham's philosophy is not profit maximization but loss minimization. In this respect, The Intelligent Investor is a book for true investors, not speculators or day traders. He provides, "in a form suitable for the laymen, guidance in adoption and execution of an investment policy" (1). This policy is inherently for the longer term and requires a commitment of effort. Where the speculator follows market trends, the investor uses discipline, research, and his analytical ability to make unpopular but sound investments in bargains relative to current asset value. Graham coaches the investor to develop a rational plan for buying stocks and bonds, and he argues that this plan must be a bulwark against emotional behavior that will always be tempting during abrupt bull and bear markets.

Since it was first published in 1949, Graham's investment guide has sold over a million copies and has been praised by such luminaries as Warren E. Buffet as "the best book on investing ever written." These accolades are well deserved. In its new form--with commentary on each chapter and extensive footnotes prepared by senior Money editor, Jason Zweig--the classic is now updated in light of changes in investment vehicles and market activities since 1972. What remains is a better book. Graham's sage advice, analytical guides, and cautionary tales are still valid for the contemporary investor, and Zweig's commentaries demonstrate the relevance of Graham's principles in light of 1990s and early twenty-first century market trends. --Patrick O'Kelley This classic text is annotated to update Graham's timeless wisdom for today's market conditions...

The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham, taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.

Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.

Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.
