7 Money Rules for Life: How to Take Control of Your Financial Future

Many Americans are struggling with money: most live from one paycheck to the next, and many have little saved for retirement or emergencies. Mary Hunt sets out seven basic principles intended to bring spending, saving and debt under control. Written in a friendly, direct tone, the book is short enough to read in a weekend and explains how each principle can be put into practice. It also offers guidance for recovering from past mistakes and argues that the rules apply regardless of income, circumstances or stage of life. The message is that managing money is not as hard as many think, and that readers can move from insecurity to stability by acting on these ideas straight away.
