For typical homeowners, the monthly mortgage payment is either their largest or, after income tax, their second-largest expense item. When you're shopping for a mortgage without the proper knowledge, you could easily waste many hours of your time - in addition to the financial losses suffered by not getting the best loan you can. Choosing the right mortgage can help you save money for more important financial goals, such as higher education and retirement.

The book is ok, but not great in my opinion...
This book was "OK", but not "great" in my opinion... I was looking for more info on investing and what percentage of income should typically go to what categories, etc. This was more of a kick in the pants about not using "bad" forms of credit (what Tyson considers "bad" credit is anything used for consumer goods." and saving for the future. I listened to the Abridged version. I am not sure what all is covered in the Unabridged one, but this one seemed to be missing some important details. For me, the most important thing is that it really should be updated with more accurate details for today's financial world. Since this was written in 2006, it includes NOTHING about the housing bubble and how that might be affecting people's finances (and how to help with that or what to consider in regards to that), the 2009 Credit Card Act put in place by President Obama, the PPACA/ACA implemented in 2010, the huge recession we have been in for 8 years now, the many way that the way FICO Scores are calculated have changed between 2006 and 2015, and much much more! How much and what types of insurance is needed is glazed over... no details what so ever... just, "See a professional." Also, he seemed to recommend going into bankruptcy as a way to get out of debt and even indicated that the creditors deserved to be stuck with the unpaid balances since they are so profitable. Also, he had many points on why 401Ks are good:No Taxes on amounts contributed due to pre-tax contributions, Company match = free money, etc. but glazed over the benefits of a Roth IRA: No tax on GROWTH of the money!! I consider my self fairly new at learning about personal finance and feel this was one of the most important things I ever learned about retirement plans! Additionally, he recommends closing all but one of your credit cards, which will make your credit score drop drastically, opening and closing credit cards quickly, which will drop your credit score, and provides many other recommendations that will make your credit score drop. Granted, you should use credit on as few things as possible and only in ways that will help increase your net worth, but when you need credit you need a good credit score to get a good interest rate! This book did have some good advice, but in my opinion, don't use this as the "Bible of Personal Finance." It is best to get as much info from as many sources as possible and make your best informed decision for your personal situation! Happy reading!
