investors, will recognize one if not several of the thirteen ‘dumb
things’ Jill Schlesinger brilliantly discusses in this engaging and
important book. I know I did. Drawing on a highly accomplished
career—not just as an astute observer of personal finance but also
as a planner and options trader—she arms readers with knowledge and
tools to help correct existing financial planning mistakes, as well
as avoid potentially costly ones in the future.”—Mohamed A.

and money management I know. Ignore her words of wisdom at your
financial peril.”—Helaine Olen, blogger for The Washington Post and
author of Pound Foolish
“We don’t talk nearly enough about money, which is odd given its
central place in most of our lives. And it’s shockingly easy for
even smart, accomplished people to get tripped up by bad habits or
just plain lack of knowledge about money management. Jill
Schlesinger has written an eye-opening, practical, and funny book
about how we screw up and how we can get it right. I needed this
book ten years ago! I’m glad I have it now.”
—Alison Green, author of Ask a Manager

powerful, easy-to-read guide full of commonsense advice.”—Booklist
