I'd like to suggest: "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke"
by Suze Orman.
As a college graduate, this young lady may want to better understand her
financial situation and make long-range plans for a successful future.
I have the book--and plan to give it to my son who is starting college
in the fall. I love Suze Orman's advice about money, financial
situations, and how to plan ahead for those things that we often aren't
taught--even in college!
Here's a small blurb from Amazon:
"If you are tired of struggling to make ends meet but don't know a
401(k) from Special K, this book is for you. Aimed specifically at
"Generation Broke"--those in their twenties and thirties who are working
yet buried in credit card debt and student loans--this user-friendly
guide offers a clear introduction to practical investing and money
management techniques that can turn even a dismal financial situation
around. Bestselling author Suze Orman has a knack for taking the fear
out of money matters, and in The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous &:
Broke, she shows readers how to set priorities and achieve goals,
whether it is to buy a house or save for retirement or pay for a child's
education. She also offers inspiration to readers to face their
financial problems and get started on a solution. After all, there is
good news: young people still have the time to correct problems so that
they will never be broke again. Readers who find terms such as
diversification and IRA rollover scary--or worse, unimportant--will
learn much from this book."
The rest of the blurb can be found online through Amazon....or any other
book review site.
Good luck!

Hello everyone,
I am looking for book suggestions for gifts to girls graduating from
college. I have seen several that appear to be more for high school
grads, but I welcome suggestions for college graduation.
Thanks for your help,
