• Good general ideas -- no application plan.
  I had the opportunity to hear Ms. Duguay speak about this book after I read the book. Granted, she is a very good speaker, but just like in the book, failed to provide tools to address specific financial issues.

I found it to be absolutely invaluble. Ms. Duguay not only provides the black letter rules that help with day-to-day and month-to-month spending decisions, but she also pares them with real life stories that bring the rules to life.
