This completely revised and updated 5th edition will help Gen Z and millennials get a financial life. If you’re in your twenties or thirties, you probably think you’ll never live as well as your parents. And who can blame you? Rents are higher than they’ve been in years, and the concept of buying a home of your own seems like a pipe dream. You’re carrying more student debt than any previous generation, while confronting an extremely tough job market in incredibly uncertain times. It’s not surprising that many of you have turned to credit cards—or your parents—to help you get by. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a job and a 401(k), the uncertainty of the economy, surging prices, and the volatility of the market make you worry if you’re investing in the right way. For three decades and counting, Beth Kobliner’s bestseller Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties has been the leading financial guide for young people. Whether you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder or doing your own thing, whether you’re single or partnered up, whether you’re financially inclined or fiscally challenged, this book offers advice that has stood the test of time—as well as fresh information to make smart decisions today. In this new edition, Kobliner teaches you how to pay down debt, get a good return on your savings, and plan for your future. Straight from the latest research, learn how to choose the right bank, avoid excessive fees, and rein in spending. You’ll get unbiased advice on the latest trends in personal finance—from neobanks and finfluencers to online fraud and cryptocurrency. And you’ll get answers to important questions: When is it smart to rent rather than buy (and vice versa)? How can I really improve my credit score? When is the right time to invest in the stock market—and how? How do I save money on my taxes? Get a Financial Life has already helped half a million people get a handle on their money, no matter how much or little they have. No wonder it’s remained the young money bible for more than thirty years.

Personal finance expert, bestselling author, and host of CNBC’s Mad Money Jim Cramer shows how ordinary investors can prosper, no matter the climate on Wall Street.

In Jim Cramer ’ s Real Money , financial expert Jim Cramer explains how to invest wisely in chaotic times, and he does so in plain English in a style that is as much fun as investing is—or should be, when it’s done right. For starters, Cramer recommends devoting a portion of your assets to speculation. Everyone wants to find the big winners that can bring outsized gains, and Cramer explains how to allocate your portfolio so that you can afford to take this kind of risk wisely. He explains why “buy and hold” is a losing philosophy: For Cramer, it’s “buy and homework.” If you can’t spend an hour a week researching each of your stocks, then you should hand off your portfolio to a mutual fund—and Cramer identifies the very few mutual funds that he’d recommend. Cramer reveals his Ten Commandments of Trading (Commandment #5: Tips are for waiters), explains why he’s not afraid to compare investing to gambling (and tells you which book on gambling you should read to become a better investor), and discloses his Twenty-Five Rules of Investing (Rule #4: Look for broken stocks, not broken companies). Detailed yet approachable, Cramer shows how to compare stock prices in a way that you can understand, how to spot market tops and bottoms, how to know when to sell, how to rotate among cyclical stocks to catch the big moves, and much more. Jim Cramer’s Real Money is filled with insider advice that really works, information that Cramer himself used to make millions during his fourteen-year career on Wall Street. Written in Cramer’s distinctive turbocharged style, this is every investor’s guide to what you really must know to make big money in the stock market.

Personal finance expert, bestselling author, and host of CNBC’s Mad Money Jim Cramer offers advice on how to restore your financial health and how to work the Wall Street system—not work against it. You’ve been screwed. You’ve been bludgeoned, skewered, crushed, mutilated by the stock market. Every day you read about another corporate scandal: loans to CEOs that didn’t have to be repaid, sham accounting irregularities, profits that never existed. You think the stock market must have been rigged. And you’re right. You were betrayed by the stock promotion machine. The mutual fund managers, the brokers, analysts, strategists, and stock gurus who brainwashed you into buying and holding stocks aren’t coming to your rescue. So now what do you do? Where do you put your money? You can't just leave it in the bank or stuff it under the mattress. For fourteen years Jim Cramer ran a hedge fund that compounded money at a rate of twenty-four percent annually after fees, and then he got out at the end of 2000. He knows that there are ways to make money, smart ways that don’t require you to own stocks blindly. There are other investments that won’t send you to the poorhouse. This book will tell you what went wrong, who the bad guys were, and what you have to do to restore your financial health. You can’t just close your eyes. Ignoring Wall Street isn’t the answer. Cash alone isn’t the answer. But Jim Cramer has the answers.

Is Social Security really going bust, and what does that mean to me? If I hire an immigrant, am I hurting a native-born worker? Why does the stock market go up when employment declines?

In his new book, Cramer offers the most detailed guidance he has ever given on how to invest in a changed market. Savvy investors will not just survive; they will thrive. Cramer begins with six rules for protecting the money you have and making sure that you have the money you need. (Rule Number 3: Skip the first four stages of portfolio grief: denial, anger, bargaining, and depression.) Your portfolio won't fix itself; you have to do that. It's easy to close your eyes and pretend that it all never happened, but you'll never get back to even that way, much less profit from the opportunities that this new market offers to investors who know where to put their money. One key to making investment decisions is to watch what the mutual-fund managers are doing and -- better yet -- to anticipate their moves. Cramer tells you how to do this. Their decisions will move markets, and you want to profit from these moves. Cramer explains why dividends may be another key to picking winners in the post-crash stock market, and he introduces a category he calls the accidental high yielders -- stocks whose prices have taken a beating, boosting their yields. Some of these stocks could make a major move upward; Cramer tells you how to spot the ones that could take off. For the first time in any of his books, Cramer offers a portfolio of twelve stocks that he says are poised to profit from the economic recovery. And he gives investors a list of five regional banks that could make big moves and return a handsome reward to shareholders. As always, Cramer explains why investors can't just take his word but have to "buy and homework" on these stocks to make sure that their stories don't change. If you're near or in retirement, your opportunities to recover and profit are more limited than those of younger investors. Cramer tells you why stocks should still be an important part of your investment portfolio. And for younger investors, Cramer explains why you must take advantage of what could be a rare opportunity to buy stocks at fabulous prices and set up a terrific portfolio. Cramer offers advanced tips for investors who have the time and are willing to invest it to profit from the post-crash stock market. Call options may seem like exotic and dangerous investment tools, but Cramer shows why they can be a conservative investing strategy that can bring quick returns in a recovering market. He explains how to use IPOs and secondary offerings wisely to juice your investment portfolio. And as if all that weren't enough, Cramer has come up with twenty-five new rules for the post-crash market. (Rule Number 4: It pays to follow the dumb money.) Getting Back to Even is indispensable for any investor still reeling in shock from the 2008-2009 market collapse and wondering where to go from here. From investment strategies to specific stock recommendations, it's the foundation for the portfolios that will soar when the economic recovery takes hold.

What should your investment strategy be now that the steady, upward trend of the U.S. stock market seems like history? The years ahead promise to be volatile, full of ups and downs, so is this the time for investors to hunker down and scale back? Not at all, is Jim Glassman’s advice. Sure, there were some people who bailed out of the market early and came out ahead, but that was luck—the kind of luck that wins the lottery once in a blue moon: it’s not a strategy. And if there is one clear lesson to be learned from all of the recent market drama, it’s that you need a point of view and a coherent investment strategy. And that’s just what Glassman provides in The Secret Code of the Superior Investor. If you believe that the long-term outlook for the American economy is positive (as Glassman and most experts do), then the best strategy is the tried-and-true approach that has worked well for more than a hundred years: acquiring a diversified portfolio of stocks in great companies and then holding on to them forever. Jim Glassman’s investing principles provide the ballast to help you keep your investing balance no matter how the markets bubble or bobble. His rigorous, practical, straightforward way of thinking and taking action enables you to build a portfolio that performs well no matter what the economic climate. Here is invaluable advice on what stocks and mutual funds to buy—and when to sell them. (Hint: Almost never.)
