Publisher's Note
This realistic, user-friendly handbook by a highly experienced, young personal finance writer provides the concrete financial advice graduates need to succeed right from the start of their independent lives. Includes self-tests, checklists, worksheets, statistics, and sources for further information.

Industry Reviews
The transition from parental pocketbook to personal checkbook usually occurs during the twentysomething period. Financial writer Lowell, editor of Funds Net Insight and a senior writer at Financial Planning Information, Inc., suggests here that it is never too late to develop a financial plan and tells how to do it. He begins with the basic issues of creating a filing system for financial records, making a budget, renting, banking, and credit and then moves on to the more complex issues of insurance, saving, and investing. Each chapter ends with a list of resources for further study. The entire range of financial areas is covered clearly and systematically in a form that introduces the problem, defines the terms, makes suggestions (some of which, like giving up MTV, might be unpalatable), and offers pros and cons. For those of us who do not know the difference between sector funds and index funds, the book could be helpful, but it is targeted to people just graduating from college and is therefore recommended primarily for academic libraries or career-development offices. Public libraries serving younger patrons might consider. Joshua Cohen, Mid-Hudson Lib. System, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
