getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.In the aftermath of the 2008 recession, many Americans had to try to climb out of a financial hole. In her informative manual for US consumers, financial expert Shari Olefson provides useful advice on how people in financial trouble can find a fresh start. The book might benefit from stiffer proofreading in spots and Olefson's tips can be obvious - don't spend, protect your investments, and so on. However, she's only laying a foundation. Once that's established, she does a good job of communicating worthwhile information, including how new financial regulations affect consumers. getAbstract recommends her counsel to those seeking to clear up their financial lives.Book Publisher:Copyright 2013 AMACOM, a division of American Management Association
