At 76 ,I am still learning , and David is still teaching me, thank you David. !

David Pogue has done it again with this book on Basics: Money. Mr. Pogue writes well and tells about every day items that we overlook or don't know about. He's like the big brother that tells you about the tips and tricks of life that no one tells anyone. After reading his books, you aren't always wondering why no one tells you this or that. I am also somewhat comforted to know that as I read along, I do some of the items he's telling us about so I don't feel completely in the dark.Maybe this book is not that enlightening to some but for others (like me), it give basics that will help through the rest of my life, making me look/feel like I'm "in the know."

Coming from a 25 year old, this book is pretty useful. About 50 percent of it I knew due to being in school and being knowledgeable about the internet but the other 50 percent is just good stuff to know. Being that the book is only 10 bucks on kindle I would buy it if you are looking for ways to save. Granted, they aren't life changing, but will help your finances if you do follow through. I will most likely get his other book about life hacks too just so I am not missing anything. I do have a long time to live and should know the short cuts early on.

The book has some good tips but it was written towards the US market and many of the services he describes are not applicable in Canada.
