Your money: The missing manual.
Posted by Donna Freedman on Jan 13, 2012 | 81 commentsThanks to all who left comments here and on the Facebook page or e-mailed after my daughter lost her baby. Your expressions of sympathy and support were much appreciated during this sad time in our family’s life.
To get back on track, I decided I’d better keep my giveaway streak alive. Up this week is a copy of J.D. Roth’s “Your Money: The Missing Manual.”
Most of you probably recognize J.D.’s name from Get Rich Slowly, probably the widest-read personal finance blogs around. Keeping true to his stated goal, he provides no get-rich-quick schemes. Instead, he focuses on practical use of available funds with an eye toward building a better future — i.e., the future you want.
“This book can help anyone who’s struggling with money find a path to a better financial life,” says Liz Pulliam Weston, my colleague at MSN Money.

Follow on email and facebook. So sorry about your daughter. I’ve had several miscarriages myself so I know how devastating it is. Good thought to you and your family.
Sounds perfect for my newly graduated sister.
Getrichslowly was the first site I found online when I made the tentative steps to change from being a shopaholic hoarder. That was 4 years ago and I’ve read the site pretty much every day since then so I would enjoy a copy of this book

But this comment is more to ask how Abby’s doing now. Just left a note at her place…stupid computer thinks I’m pvvccoursesdotwordpressdotetcetera, so she’ll have no clue what that is. Friday thing sounded just dreadful. Hope she’s OK or getting closer to that by now.

I’m sorry I missed the deadline for the book. It will be interesting to see how JD handles his personal crisis/changes going forward, especially for those of us taking the ride with him.
