HOW NOT TO MOVE BACK IN WITH YOUR PARENTS
By: Carrick, Rob
In this era of the Boomerang Generation, here at last is a full and frank
guide to avoiding the need to move back in with your parents. Rob Carrick of
The Globe and Mail is one of Canada's most trusted and widely read financial
experts. His latest book is the first by anyone to target financial advice
specifically at young adults graduating from university or college and moving
into the workforce, into the housing market and into family life. Financial
beginners, in other words. Carrick offers what can only be described as a
wealth of information, on the full life cycle of financial challenges and
opportunities young people face, including saving for a post-secondary education
and paying off student debts, establishing a credit rating, basic banking and
budgeting, car and home buying, marriage and raising children of their own, and
insurance. The book is mindful throughout that parents have a big role to play
in all this. It addresses young readers throughout but regularly asks them to
see things from their parents' perspective. In that way, Rob Carrick is able to
offer advice to both generations. He even recognizes that in these difficult
times, moving back in with the folks is sometimes a short-term necessity. So
there is a section devoted to such important questions as: Should your parents
be charging you rent? For that and many thousands of dollars' worth of other
reasons, this is a book that every parent needs to buy for each of their kids,
plus one for themselves. TitlePeek
