An excellent introduction to personal finance.--Chris Chatwin Carioti′s Personal Finance is interesting, concise...and is easy reading that keeps the reader′s interest. It does not over discuss a topic, rather the main ideas are presented to make a point.--Jane Schappert Carioti′s Personal Finance textbook delivers key content on critical components of one′s personal finance journey in a logically present/easy to understand format. Based on my 10+years of postsecondary experience teaching this course, I feel as though the students would easily relate to the presented content.--Mark Ryan I found this book to be more relevant to a college student today. It describes in depth how to avoid debt and what to do when you find yourself in that situation and to avoid getting in financial scams.--Cindy Moss It is actually the best Personal Finance textbook I′ve seen. I don′t even use a textbook anymore because I couldn′t find one that I felt included all the topics I review in my class and that was easy to read for students. I think that students will find it an interesting read.--Tricia Hersel It is more practical; more targeted for practical information needed by college age adults, who are more concerned with their financial future. [The book] has very good definitions up front in the chapter of the key concepts. These are clearly and simply defined. The chapters have some good step by step processes--renting for example.--Tom Collins There is an emphasis on self-awareness not included in other texts.--Kimberlee Davis This a very good Personal Finance text. The material includes current thinking. There was a good bit of discussion about cryptocurrencies. Students need to be aware of these types of investments with a good amount of warning.--Walter F. Boyle This book breaks complex topics down into manageable steps that students can integrate into their own financial planning. Students will enjoy the hands-on approach this book provides.--Dyan Pease This book takes a personalized approach to personal finance and requires a student to assess themself and their attitudes toward money.--Konnie G. Kustron This is an excellent introductory personal finance text. It meets students on an emotional level--dealing with that first before moving on to a task orientation.--Bruce Kline This is an introductory personal finance text that integrates emotional and relationship well-being with financial well-being.--Axton Betz-Hamilton ""...Really going to deepen students′ understanding and...boost their comprehension.""--Daniel Okamura ""Student performance after implementing Vantage is incredible...this is a really tangible way to see that.""--Karen Deeming ""This is the smoothest student onboarding process I have ever experienced. Everything is syncing and the students were able to figure things out with almost no help from me.""--Echo Leaver ""Extremely valuable! Interactive, engaging and simple to use.""--Alyssa Salazar ""I am really excited to have tools that help motivate students to actually do the reading...""--Emily Hopkins ""I have used every other major digital platform that exists, and I can say that Vantage has no equal.""--William Parent ""I think that Vantage [is] an ideal system that will promote engagement of students.""--Linda Trautman ""It really helps you wrap your head around what you′re learning and come to a complete understanding of the course material.""--Aubrey Akins ""My learners really enjoyed the SAGE Vantage experience. Many of them said it forced them to read, which aided in their comprehension...The feedback I received is that they all really enjoyed the interactive nature of the program, as well as the [number] of activities...""--Daniel Amoruso ""With Vantage, I set up my course in under 10 minutes, which is unheard of...I love Vantage!""--Karin Machluf
