One Year to an Organized Financial Life is a great book and bargain. It is full of useful, clearly-explained and – no surprise – well-organized ideas. It is the financial and organizational blueprint most of us need to begin to straighten our lives out. I gave my daughters copies of the book as Christmas presents.
Rating: 5 / 5
OK, I’m the first to admit that I’m pretty bad at both organizing and finances. This book (which I have not quite finished yet) is a great step-by-step guide for people like me………I’ve implemented some of the suggestions and have already seen very positive results. It’s become my daily reading!

One Year to an Organized Financial Life is just the book I needed to read on New Year’s Eve Day. I am not sure I knew that when I started to read but I want you to know that you will get hooked once you start. Regina Leeds and Russell Wild have created a format that helps those who need this most to believe it is possible. I love that Ms. Leeds shared her own experiences because then we readers know that we all can learn from our mistakes.
If you finally want to find a way to start to straighten the “boat” I really think this book is the answer. Time to get started!

“One Year To An Organized Financial Life” is a great book and easy read. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to organize their lives and their finances. The book would be especially helpful and is geared towards people who are just starting out managing their personal finances. But, there are some wonderful tips in the book that can benefit investors and money mavens of every level of sophistication and skill.
I love how the book is broken down into distinct sections. While you can start reading the book at any time of the year and in any order, the book’s chapters each represent a month on the calendar and are then further broken out by that month’s weeks. So, for example, June looks like….June – Build A Nest Egg… Week One: “Establish a Retirement Plan”, Week Two: “Calculate How Much You Need To Save”, Week Three: “Assess How Much Risk You Can Afford”, and Week Four: “Max Out Where It Pays”.
Other personal finance topics covered throughout the book include: accessing your finances, spending less and saving more, getting ready for taxes, borrowing smartly, long range planning, children and money, and many other great money topics. It is a week by week guide to finding the financial piece of mind that you deserve. The book builds on a slow and methodical way to bring your finances under control and lays out certain tasks or goals that you have to accomplish each week. Some of the tasks that I found very helpful were cleaning out my wallet of unneeded receipts and business cards, etc.
“One Year To An Organized Life” is a great book full of practical money and organizational advice for everyone. I highly recommend it.

This book is very organized and easy to navigate. Most financial books are either too complex and make it confusing to figure out what to do or they are so overly simplistic as to be of no help at all. You know those books that tell you, “Stop doing the one thing you enjoy and you’ll be a millionaire someday!” I hate those books.
The authors break down the overwhelming task of getting your financial house in order into manageable chunks. The calendar format is helpful but you don’t have to start with any particular month. They do a good job of giving one pointers on both where and how to get started and make the process less intimidating. The foundation work in how to get organized will help me keep things on track in the future also. That alone will reduce stress and time wasted looking for documents. I’ve always spent way too much time looking for things. As they say in the book, “An organized environment is your launching pad, not your jail.”
A good mantra.
