Your money: The missing manual.

by Donna Freedman on January 13, 2012

Thanks to all who left comments here and on the Facebook page or e-mailed after my daughter lost her baby. Your expressions of sympathy and support were much appreciated during this sad time in our family’s life.

To get back on track, I decided I’d better keep my giveaway streak alive. Up this week is a copy of J.D. Roth’s “Your Money: The Missing Manual.”

Most of you probably recognize J.D.’s name from Get Rich Slowly, probably the widest-read personal finance blogs around. Keeping true to his stated goal, he provides no get-rich-quick schemes. Instead, he focuses on practical use of available funds with an eye toward building a better future — i.e., the future you want.

“This book can help anyone who’s struggling with money find a path to a better financial life,” says Liz Pulliam Weston, my colleague at MSN Money.

If that’s you, then sign up to win this copy. And if you don’t win? Follow the link above to get your own copy. Or be frugal and ask your local library system to buy it.

But this comment is more to ask how Abby’s doing now. Just left a note at her place…stupid computer thinks I’m pvvccoursesdotwordpressdotetcetera, so she’ll have no clue what that is. Friday thing sounded just dreadful. Hope she’s OK or getting closer to that by now.
