Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
1,001 Ways to Save, Grow, and Invest Your Money
David E. Rye · 1999
38/100
👎 Skip It
A tip-a-page personal finance reference published in 1999, which means the specific advice on interest rates, investment products, and tax rules is deeply out of date by now. The author has solid credentials and the format is genuinely accessible, but financial guidance that's a quarter-century old isn't just dated — it can point readers in the wrong direction. There are far more current options for anyone looking to get a handle on saving and investing.
