The Under 40 Financial Planning Guide: From Graduation To Your First House (398 pages, $19.95 softcover, 1996, ISBN 1563431343), by Cornelius P. McCarthy, published by Silver Lake Publishing.

The 20s and 30s are an age when most adults are just learning to think seriously about money. In an increasingly uncertain economic climate, young people cannot afford to perpetuate the previous generation's relaxed attitude about money. The investment banker author takes readers on a tour of the money issues that affect people in their 20s and 30s. How much of each paycheck should be saved? How much of your income should go to rent? Is it better to fix an old car or buy a new one? Should credit cards be paid off completely each month? This book makes the answers simple to understand.

It all comes down to three basic principles: get rid of debt, learn to live below your means, and start investing sensibly and consistently. In this book, the author spells out how to accomplish these goals in a step-by-step plan. Destroying debt does not mean radically changing your lifestyle.
