Decent book, good info plus paperwork masters that help.......2007-10-18
I found the contents of this book to be quite helpfull. The enclosed C-D is to get more money out of you, but otherwise, it is very helpfull!
Love it!!!.......2007-09-16
I started at the beginning of September tracking how much I spend in every catagory, and I have some shaving to do on my spending for sure, but this book lets me track everything from atm fees to my lotto tickets, to gas purchases. I've been able to have my paycheck last through out the week so far for the past few weeks.
I will deffinatly get another book when I need it!!
Great Book. Had to buy the online sheet as well.......2007-07-25
I carried it everywhere for a while, till I bought the online sheets. Easy to use and worth every penny spent. Glad to own.
Worth a look. Supplemental guide........2007-04-15
This book is an excellent, budget, worksheet resource because it's the unplanned for, non-monthly, but still regular expenses that punch holes in any "monthly" budget plan. For those who've forgotten about quarterly, semi-annual, annual, birthday/holiday, etc., expenses it's a real eye opener. Couple that with modern society's growing use/dependency on non-cash transactions . . . credit cards . . . debit cards . . . prepaid cards . . . and most people don't realize how much they're actually spending at any given time/moment. But be FOREWARNED any new budgeters, this book is very weak on "overview" . . . there's no "big picture." A very simplified explanation of why one needs to do what, when, and how rolling into . . . "and this is how we get started" . . . is nowhere to be found. There's a reason one needs to initially track every expense (to identify what you're actually spending your money on) . . . organize that into some form of logical summary (determine the actual total cost of the lattes here, magazines there, fast food, etc.) . . . and develop a plan of attack if change is needed/required . . . is sorely missing. For those new to budgeting, it's not intuitively obvious. I was neither interested in nor cared that they included free budget (Mvelopes) software . . . but I did find it rather interesting that right out of the gate they discourage anyone from using Quicken or MSMoney with the quote, "I have found that for many people there is critical tactile and visual learning that occurs with the manual approach that does not happen as effectively electronically" . . . and then immediately follow that up with their software Mvelopes and all the great, wonderful things it too can do for you . . . guess the name of the game is ultimately still "Money."

Any idiot can do without this "book". It's basically a blank calander. Write down everything you earn and spend on a blank piece of paper and save yourself from writing down that you spend $16 on this book! I suppose that if you are a complete moron with your money, you may actually need this book. I feel sorry for you.

Customer Reviews:
Doesn't work.......2006-02-23
Program literally doesn't run--just generates an error report to send to Microsoft. Have un-installed and re-installed 3xs to no avail. There is no information as to where to get support, and no help area on the www.familyfn.com website. Luckily I only paid $5 s/h for it--she's giving them away on her website.
Simplistic, lacking depth and personal finance perspective.......2006-01-29
This is not user friendly. And, even after spending the time to learn how to use it, I found it to be superficial and mind numbing.
I found the book Personal Finance for Dummies to be far more useful and practical to address my financial questions and planning.
Not worth the money.......2005-02-17
There was nothing in this book/cd that was anything more than common sense. It didn't help me figure out anything that I didn't already know. Was no help to me what-so-ever. I gave it 1 star only because you can't give a 0.
Can't use with Mac computer.......2005-01-26
There can be no review except that I wasted about $20. The CD is suitable for PC's only. There might well have been a proviso warning Apple Computer owners not to buy the kit.
Why Didn't I Find This Sooner?.......2004-04-07
The kit lives up to the title. Easy to use. Simple to understand. Get my budget done in one sitting. A big help to a young couple who just bought a house and wants to be in financial bliss, not a financial mess.

Customer Reviews:
A great method to get your finances under control!.......1998-09-12
I bought this book several years ago and since then my financial and spiritual life has changed dramatically. I found that once I looked at my finances as a spiritual matter, I was able to gain control of them as an act of obedience to Christ.
The workbook is a great first step toward financial discipline. Budgeting and sticking to your budget is key. Once you live on a budget, you will never stop. The freedom living on a budget brings is phenominal.
Don't ever think you don't have enough money to establish a budget without breaking it, because in reality, you just don't have enough money to live without a budget.
This is a great book on personal finances. I would highly recommend it.
WELL DESIGNED BOOK.......1997-10-07
THIS IS A GOOD BOOK, FOR FAMILIES OR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CREATING AND STICKING WITH A REALISTIC BUDGET, IT CAN BE A LITTLE OVER- WHELMING, BUT OVERALL IS A RESOURCE BOOK TO KEEP

Helpful.......2006-11-10
I am currently wrestling with an ailing and unwieldy budget, and this book is really helping me to make sense out of it.
Bonnie's Household Budget Book.......2006-02-01
This was a well planned out and I plan to start using it for my everyday expenses.
Helpful Budgeting Basics.......2000-06-08
Over all the book is helpful, and the work sheets are detailed enough to seperate expenses, however, unless you have kept fairly detailed records for several months, you will not be able to accurately complete the worksheets. Be prepared to spend time with prep work before beginning.
Great way to budget your household expenses.......1998-11-19
I have been using this workbook for 5 months and I love it. It helps me get a good view to where our household funds are going. I highly recommend it.
Wow! I now know where all my money goes........1998-08-24
I bought the Household Budget Book when my credit card debt started piling up. What a difference it has made. It has helped me evaluate where I spend my money. Not only do I record my monthly expenses, income, and investments I can view my yearly living expenses, auto maintenance,and household inventory. I finally save the money monthly I had always promised myself I would. The back provides dollar stretching tips I've found useful. I've just purchased my second copy for next year.I never thought tracking my spending could be so much fun.

Included is an overview of the methodology, instructions, two (2) examples and two (2) blank templates for use.

Business Basics Bestseller 1: The Easy, Interesting, Open-book Look at the Game of Business Numbers! 2nd Edition
If you are looking for a book to introduce you to the basics of business including the jargon behind the numbers and where all the formulas come from before you plow into a true "finance and accounting text," search for "Business Basics Bestseller 1" and add it to your consideration. If you have never had this stuff 'splained' to you before, you will like it. This is not a suggestion that you substitute it for this text, just that you check it out as well.
Look no further.......2000-05-27
If you are to be studying Accounting and Finance as an auxiliary unit, this one is the best. It is written in an accessible style with not a little consideration for the needs of the student, yet quite a good amount of information is here.

Customer Reviews:
This is the BEST Accounting book.......2004-02-18
The book title says 'Accounting for non-specialists', but I think this book can be used by everyone. Even if you are an expert this book will give you those useful tips on how to remember those small details.
For rookies in accounting, it will take you step by step, never will you feel like you are the only person on earth who does not know the meaning of Debit or Credit.
Book Description
Business Accounting and Finance for Non Specialists is aimed at non-specialist students of accounting and finance on a first course in the subject. It gives a lively and wide-ranging survey of the basic principles of finance, financial accounting and management accounting. The unique approach taken in the first Section of the book is to look at small to medium sized business organisations and their role in the economy - how they are set up, factors in their success and failure and how they source funds for expansion. This leads to discussion of the role of financial markets and their need for financial information. Sections 2 and 3 then give an account of financial and management accounting principles, respectively. The text is clearly written and technical jargon is minimal - any technical terms are clearly explained and a glossary of terms is provided. The book does not present the hurdle of double-entry bookkeeping at an early stage - students can progress through the book without double-entry. Illustrative case studies and reference to real-life business examples are used to bring the technical information to life. Business Accounting and Finance for Non-specialists includes a large number of worked examples, to give students valuable practice in using their new skills. Other pedagogic elements include aims and learning outcomes, summaries, Case Studies with questions and solutions, individual learning activities, self-test questions with answers provided in the book, and exercises - the answers to which are divided between the book and the Lecturer's Guide/Website.

Book Description
Introductory Accounting for Non-Specialists is aimed at a single-semester module in accounting and finance. The text provides a first-level look at financial and managerial accounting and basic finance for non-specialist students. The approach is to achieve a balance between the technical aspects and underlying concepts. The book is aimed at users of accounting information. Students (as future users of accounting information) need to understand the basic ideas and assumptions that lie behind the numbers. They do not need to become expert preparers of accounting information but should know enough of the mechanics to make sense of the sources of the numbers, and to understand how new information would change (for example) the profit/balance sheet position. The “quadrant” system of analyzing transactions is used as a model that allows non-specialists to develop an insight into how double-entry works. The overall key objective is to enable the reader to critically analyse and discuss both the external financial reporting and the internal management information aspects of accounting at an introductory level. In other words, having studied the book students should be able to understand and be able to apply the ideas and techniques presented and to evaluate the usefulness and limitations of them. The book is pedagogically well developed and includes learning objectives, tasks, examples, case studies, diagrams, summaries, review questions and exam questions. Answers are provided to the majority of the review and exam questions at the back of the book.
