A wow!!! Important information, wise advice, personal story. Clear and well written. Enjoy your Latte by Francine Dick is a real wow. This gifted, clear speaking and experienced writer/certified financial planner has written a very informative book in her strong personal voice. She tells her own story and at the same time manages to teach a great deal in only 200 pages, while imparting much of what several generations need to understand about saving, investing, and enjoying life. Her highly readable book deserves a big round of applause for what it says, how it says it, and for its wisdom. Brava.Erstwhile Reader

Comprehensive and easy-to-read financial information and advice This book not only has a lot of factual information in it, but it also offers Francine's personal views and opinions. It's written in plain language and doesn't overwhelm the reader. It's a good book to read in pieces and to use as a reference guide. While there is a ton of information online about personal finance, it can be hard to know what's important and what's correct. Enjoy Your Latte includes the relevant and important information you need to understand your finances.
