It's Sunday morning. Do you know where your money is and what it is doing?
Chances are, you don't.If you don't have much, the worry is next week's bills. If you do, you probably turn over some control of your money to experts - accountants or investment advisers of one sort or another - who manage it for you.
In either case, you can benefit from "Terry Savage Talks Money: The Common-Sense Guide to Money Matters." Savage is a business reporter for a Chicago TV station and a registered investment adviser, but she writes in a language even a civilian can comprehend. Her TV training (make it fast; make it simple) may have helped her in putting together this book; it is basic stuff, presented in easily digestible form.
For example, Savage explains not only how to invest in Treasury bills or notes but also how the payout of those instruments works. She is as clear on buying a house or a car, and, for anyone with a dime left over, investing in stocks and bonds, commodities, precious metals and real estate. Her cautionary attitude on the last category is in marked contrast, and a welcome antidote, to the pie-in-the-sky promises made by promoters, both on TV and in print. -
