Fight For Your Money

David Bach's tenth book on personal finance is an encyclopedia of financial action steps combined with strong motivational encouragement. He covers the major spending categories such as banking, insurance, tax savings, retirement, buying or renovating a home, travel, credit cards, and buying cell-phone, Internet, cable, and health-club plans. It's clear that Bach's practical advice is the result of an impressive amount of research and experience. Narrator Bob Walter's tone of alarm engenders the activist mentality we need when corporations scheme to drain every dollar from our wallets. In this full-length production, he keeps the listener engaged, making this a comprehensive resource essential for consumers. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
