Though aimed at recent college graduates, the latest from Khalfani (The
Money Coach's Guide to Your First Million) is divided into three main
sections-bills, student loans and credit-of which only one is
grad-exclusive; the rest is full of information useful to anyone in need
of an introduction to personal finance. Packed with practical tips,
Khalfani helps students still considering loans and those already
knee-deep in debt-covering topics like payment schedules, loan
consolidation, "savvy ways to put off payment" and little-known
loopholes-along with anyone trying to keep up with monthly bills and
build credit. Her conversational style keeps the dry material lively and
makes it easy to understand complex financial concepts ("Re-aging is
how you get a 'do over' in the credit card world"). Those who buy this
volume for the graduate in their life may want to read up before passing
it along.
