I’m looking for a good personal finance book similar to Money Magazine’s book that was published in the 90’s?

I just graduated college and I’m looking for a good general guide to personal finance that is intelligently written and informative. I believe the Complete Idiot’s Guide and For Dummies books both have a version for personal finance but I’m worried that they’re a little watered down and not serious enough. Let me know if I’m mistaken, or if you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I am not sure how far you want to go. But One of the best common sense books of the market is Dave Ramsey’s boo, TOTAL MONEY MAKE OVER. You can see it for free at Barnes and Nobel, and at your library. It is so enlightening, and is taught in high schools and churches everywhere. Easy to read, it helps you to set up life and not get bogged down with overburdening debt.

I only wish there was more in his program about choosing specific mutuals and other investments.

    These books are still being printed.
    Personal Fiance for Dummies is at my small library – very popular.
    Get Investing for Dummies while you are at it – for your future.

    Go to a bookstore and browse their financial section to find exactly what you are looking for. Then go on-line and get it cheaply, or better yet, see if your local library has a copy. That way you will know exactly what it the best book for you!
