When it comes to picking stocks, Peter Lynch is my hero. He's insightful and inspiring. But I needed answers to money questions beyond picking stocks.

"SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS" by Nancy Lloyd was recommended by both MONEY magazine and MORNINGSTAR so I decided to take a look. For years I've enjoyed listening to Bob Edwards interview Nancy Lloyd about a wide range of money matters on NPR's "Morning Edition" and I liked the way she could explain complex information in clear and easy-to-follow terms. Her financial credentials are superb (unlike the hacks who have been spewing psychobabble on PBS Pledge shows). "SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS" is entertaining and extremely useful.
