Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm sorry, Budgetnista, but your book just didn't do it for me. You should have budgeted for an editor, first of all. There are issues such as typos, incorrect grammar, and punctuation abuse on every page, which really distracted from your message.... especially since you're an ex schoolteacher! Beyond that, I just didn't find the advice or budget charts useful. This book may work for young women under the age of 22, but so much of your advice and charts are redundant to fill page space; additionally, your advice is just not possible for working professionals (especially those with children). For example, you advise people with a large amount of debt to move in with their parents?! That is just not an option for most working professionals! I also found it extremely odd that you chose to use "Bella" as an example. Bella makes double or triple the income of your target audience! And how in the hell does Bella only spend $300 a month on her children? It's completely irrational and unreasonable. Another sore spot arose when I was reading your blog, and came across a statement from you advising people to foreclose on their houses---you stated that you have not paid your mortgage but have been squatting in your foreclosed house for six years. I was completely aghast! This discredited you completely as a financial expert. People like you are the reason for the mortgage crisis. Furthermore you suggest people use Primerica for life insurance. Primerica is a powerfully terrifying multilevel marketing scheme that people should run fast and far away from at all costs! I appreciate low cost of this book and your upbeat attitude and conversational style, but I would never recommend this book to my peers.
