“‘The Money Book’ lays out the key issues for workers who don't
have benefits. It hits on the major themes of saving regularly,
planning for retirement, and managing your taxes when you, the
worker, are ultimately responsible. Its conversational tone makes
it easily accessible for readers who aren't inclined to read about
how to crunch numbers and budget.”
—Associated Press
"The Money Book" is an indispensable survival guide that belongs on
the desk of every independent worker who is willing do whatever it
takes to achieve success.
— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Through trial and error, veteran freelancers D'Agnese and Kiernan
worked out a money-management system that allowed them to save for
emergencies and retirement, pay off debt, buy benefits, cover their
taxes and survive the droughts in business that seem an inevitable
part of working for yourself.
They convey all this in a book that's irreverent and hugely
entertaining.”
—MSN Money
“Developed from the personal experiences of the authors, this book
is fun and relevant, with no other recent work quite comparable.
Recommended for anyone who is self-employed now or is facing a new
work-life situation.”
—Library Journal
