Everything You Need to Know About Buying, Selling and Financing a Car: How to get the best and safest vehicle at the best price.

Real Estate: Will the bubble burst? Here’s how to be an informed buyer and seller along with the basics of remodeling and designing your home.

How to Be an Informed Patient: Choosing a hospital, playing private investigator with your M.D., and learning about the tests you really ought to have (even if you have to pay for them yourself).

Getting Real Bang for Your Education Bucks: What you need to know from preschool through college and graduate school.

The Great Balancing Act: Managing work and family, and finding out how to avoid the overstretched child and parent syndromes.

Financing Your Life: It was easy in the 1990s, but the world has changed dramatically. Here’s how to deal with the new world of saving, investing and borrowing money.

Shopping: The New Sex? Throw away your Kama Sutra. The number one thrill in shopping is getting a good deal—here’s how to play the game and get the best stuff at the best price.

It has all the basic insight and information you need to navigate through life along with hilarious side trips such as “The Three-Decorator Experience” and “Cruises: Sailing New Waters.”
