Investing 101, 2nd, Updated and Expanded Edition

In the newly updated and expanded edition of Investing 101, Kathy Kristof shatters the myth that investing is impossible for the average person to do successfully. "Investing doesn't have to be difficult or nerve-racking," Kristof maintains. "In fact, wise investing is simple. Ask yourself this question: Will I have the amount of money I need when I need it with my present investment strategy? If the answer is yes, you're doing it right. If the answer is no, you need to change something. It is that simple."

With the most up-to-date material on 529 college savings plans, Roth IRAs, reverse mortgages, and why even bad markets can be good for you, Kristof carefully explains how to invest safely and successfully. She even provides a "Lazy Investor's Portfolio Planner" for those who don't want to spend more than a few hours a year managing their investments. This book is for anyone who needs simple, straightforward advice on how to start investing wisely.
