Thus far, I can't say that I'm impressed with this book. Paine has covered goal setting (for financial purposes) and budgeting. The budgeting section would be fine for someone absolutely new to managing personal finance, but I would certainly recommend Dave Ramsey's method. One key difference is that Ramsey advises creating an emergency fund first before starting debt repayment, while Paine's method does not. Ouch.
