"The Graduating Geek’s Guide to High Finance" - A New e-Book by Author Dan Appleman

College graduates often find themselves with high incomes on their first job, but little knowledge of how to handle their money. This e-Book contains the essential information every new gradudate needs to know about personal finance.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 6, 2006 - In this new e-

Book, author Dan Appleman, founder of the web site www. ThinkingAboutMoney. com, addresses a critical need: providing basic personal finance education for new college graduates who, having landed their first full time job, suddenly have more money than they have ever had before.

Many students graduate college with little more financial knowledge than how to balance a check book. It's not surprising that many quickly find themselves in debt, fail to contribute to a retirement fund, and make numerous other mistakes that can jeopardize their financial health for years to come.

The Graduating Geek's Guide to High Finance contains this fundamental information that is rarely taught in school, along with wisdom traditionally handed down to newcomers from jaded industry veterans.

Sample topics include:

Money Isn't Everything

Wealth isn't Income.

Start today, well actually - tomorrow.

Think twice before you spend.

Time is Money.

The Tax Man cometh.

A Piece of the Action.

Stock and Stock Options.

Investing.

Starting a business.

Going Independent.

Corporate Myths.

Buying a House.

Insurance.

ThinkingAboutMoney. com is a new web site designed to help visitors learn about investing and personal finance. The site does not sell or make investment recommendations. Instead, it focuses on education, particularly in looking beyond common knowledge and the simplistic approaches often favored by beginners.
