Personal Finance in Your 20s For Dummies Reviews
Author Eric Tyson has a knack for making Personal Finance clear and coherent for any reader. With “Personal Finance in Your 20s” he speaks specifically to young adults–some of the most financially undereducated people in America.
Who should read this book?
1- Students who have just graduated high school and are transitioning to a limited-income college life (whether on their own income, their parents, student loans or grants).
2- Students who have just graduated college, have landed their first “real job” and want to know how to be smart with their money and start investing.

For such a small book, the author packs in an immense amount of relevant and useful information–with just the right level of detail. And, at 233 pages (this book is smaller than typical dummies books– roughly the dimensions of a standard trade paperback), its not too lengthy to discourage reluctant readers.

5- How to develop a budget, a savings mindset and prioritizing your savings goals. In partcular, the author tackles “how to save when youre strapped” (this should help fixed-income college students in particular).
