Not enough twenty-somethings care about making sound financial decisions. (I say this as a late twenty-something who had the same problem finding information). Sometimes I think that most financial advice should be aimed at net worth/income ranges. That seems to make the most sense. If you are making $20,000 a year and have $2000 in net worth, whether you are 20 or 40, advice about investing in intl currencies with minimums of $10,000 is worthless to you. When I first started working I was making $50,000 and saving a decent amount but all advice aimed at my age range was about getting out of credit card debt and making ends meet. Great advice but not for me. Look for sites and magazines that are aimed toward your financial status. And once in a while check out the other ones too, just to make sure you aren't missing some opportunities you could avail of anyway.

This is a new magazine that is also targeted at the twenty-something crowd that I recently learned about.

How does this magazine compare to Young Money?

I think you will find Young Money, issue after issue, does provide real world guidance, inspiration and engagement that cover a variety of earning, managing, investing and spending money topics. We also feel ShareBuilder has a great platform for new investors to become participants in the stock market. I should also point you to a new mutual fund launching next month called the Thrashers Fund....out of New York. I believe the url is www.thrashersfund.com.

It was published by Ken Kurson, who did a book based on the magazine and later coauthored Rudy Guiliani's book. There are, of course, numerous money books for young adults, ranging from Suze Orman's "Young Fabulous and Broke" to "Get a Financial Life" and "Get in the Game!", the latter by Vanessa Summers. David Bach is working on "Start Young, Finish Rich," which will likely cover the same ground. There used to be a publication called Green Magazine geared towards young adults.

My wife has gotten it in the past and it's like the size of a telephone book! Shouldn't a magazine called Real Simple be about 4 or 5 pages at most, with the exact same articles each month? I mean, the more you write, the less simple your readers' lives become. Don’t have any suggestions, but couldn’t help but comment on Real Simple magazine.
