Quick personal finance question?
February 7th, 2010Good “Personal Finance 101″ type of book for early career types?
February 7th, 2010Just looking for a decent book that’s sort of a ‘finance 101′ type of thing. There’s a ton of these types of books out there, just wondering what’s a good one so I’m not wasting my time.
I’m in my 20’s and have some of the basics covered (IRA, 401k, high-interest checking/savings) and am now starting to get more serious about this stuff (just opened a Schwab account, looking to do more than simply put money in the bank). Hopefully that helps give you a better perspective of where I’m at.

Personal Finance Homework Help?
February 2nd, 2010Bernie and Pam Britten are a young married couple beginning careers and establishing a household. They will each make about $50,000 next year and will have accumulated about $40,000 to invest. They now rent an apartment but are considering purchasing a condominium for $100,000. If they do, a down payment of $10,000 will be required.
They have discussed their situation with Lew McCarthy, an investment advisor and personal friend, and he has recommended the following investments:
•The condominium – expected annual increase in market value = 5%.
•Municipal bonds – expected annual yield = 5%.
•High-yield corporate stocks – expected dividend yield = 8%.
•Savings account in a commercial bank-expected annual yield = 3%.
•High-growth common stocks – expected annual increase in market value = 10%; expected dividend yield = 0.
1.Calculate the after-tax yields on the foregoing investments, assuming the Brittens have a 28% marginal tax rate (based on Public Law 108-27, The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003).
2.How would you recommend the Brittens invest their $40,000? Explain your answer.
