Summary: not selling you her branded financial products
Comment: I found this book at my library after reading it rated well by Consumer Reports. Of course details are a touch out of date, but I found the information to be very solid and consistent with the advice of other financial advisors that I respect (e.g., NPR's Sound Money). It provides guidance on how to build a stable financial foundation. If you're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, this book won't make you happy.
I've been on a personal finance reading blitz in the last couple of years, and I recommended this book as my favorite to my sister. (She told me there were many nasty reviews here which is why I'm writing this.) It's a lot of information for someone who isn't really sure they want to learn about personal finance (a reluctant child or head-in-the-sand parent), but for those interested in depth I highly recommend it.
And she isn't trying to see you a financial product with her name or logo attached (and a fat percentage in their pocket) like so many in this field, which gives her more credibility than most. I wouldn't recommend that anyone rely on only one source for any serious topic, but I have recommended this as a source to people I care about.

Summary: Mostly 1970's advice
Comment: The bulk of this book is just regurgitated information from a book that Quinn wrote back in 1979. The newest piece of information that I found were the new (ha-ha) Roth IRA's
This book is really 180 pages of information fluffed out to 1,000 pages of mostly useless trash. The most useful stuff can be found on the internet for FREE. If you really want to read this book you can borrow it from your library for FREE. It will be there. This is not a hot book with a huge waiting list.
I also found it amusing to see this book listed with Suze Orman's great book The Road To Wealth here at Amazon. No doubt this is just an attempt by Quinn to jump on Suze Ormans coat tails (just like she did with Venita Van Caspel in late 70's and early 80's)
The Road To Wealth is an excellent book that has content which is also current by the way and Suze Orman has the credentials to boot. What credentials does Quinn have? I rest my case!
Skip this book and buy The Road To Wealth, The Automatic Millionaire or something useful. You may also want to buy the original version of this book; Making The Most of Your Money by Ray Linder. JEESH QUIIN: You can't even come up with an original title for Gods sake!

Summary: Almost as Imporant
Comment: As a companion book to "How to Make the Most of Yourself," this anthology can begin to reveal the other decisions of life that are important for everyone, and place in perspective the priorities we have, and those we make, and how. Usually leads to a comfortable life, if not always a happy one. Highly recommended for those who consider the deprivations of life as related to their finances and the power they possess rather than the satisfactions of life from other more elusive sources that cannot be spent but may be longer lasting and self fulfilling. Usually a help in making money!
