In the well-known idiot-proof style, the guide tells you everything you need to know about bank accounts, credit cards, and debt, and helps you figure out the housing and transportation arrangements that are best for you. It teaches you to determine your net worth and examine your expectations, and provides clear and useful information about budgeting, saving, and avoiding the abuse of credit. You'll also find out about spending money and investing to make your money grow. Understanding your taxes can save you money too, and this book will show you how. The biggest purchase most people make is a home: you'll learn how to buy one and how to evaluate which type of mortgage is the best for you. Obtaining adequate protection for your home and other assets is explained as well.
Numerous tips, a directory of Internet and other resources, and a Show Me the Money Glossary make The Complete Idiot's Guide to Personal Finance in Your 20s and 30s in Canada the perfect guide for your personal financial management.
