   Summary: Money Magazine
Money magazine is a great source of financial advise,
how to invest and save.

However, you can obtain a subscription through money magazine
for only $10.00 the first year and 2 years for $20. Amazon
charged me $20.00 for only 1 year.

   Summary: Monthly Financial Advice - Some Value To Beginners
This magazine is of little value unless you are a beginner to investing. Monthly advice is almost worthless in an information age that is very fast moving. This magazine is dangerous if it leads one to believe that he/she can make decisions based on monthly advice. The magazine can, of course, be used in combination with other information sources. However, it is probably not needed. It is much better to read the WSJ daily.

   Summary: Good for beginners for some things, dangerous for others
Money is a decent magazine. I subscribed to it for a year and learned some interesting things. It is good for beginning finance, but I also believe it can be a little dangerous. See my pros and cons.

Pros:

1. Good at outlining sound, traditional, general financial advice from issue to issue. Nearly every issue covers basic information on 401(k)'s, IRAs, home ownership, education, etc. They do an especially good job at providing narrative to help explain some of the more technical issues. Instead of writing a technical treatise on 401(k)'s, for example, they will instead describe the experiences of actual families with different needs and problems. This is probably Money's greatest strength, even if the stories can sometimes be a little sappy.

2. They do a good job outlining major new trends in investing, taxes, etc. with a healthy dose of buyer beware.

Cons:

1. I believe mass market magazines are a HORRIBLE place to find stock tips. Please be very, very careful when reading their stock tips. I could write an essay here, but I hope that financial neophytes take all Money's stock advice with a heavy ladle of salt. I don't think Money is doing anything unscrupulous, I just think a monthly magazine is a poor forum for this kind of information.

2. I wish they would stay out of the consumer product reviews. I would rather read a couple more articles on finances than wade through a special section on automobiles, electronics, etc. Money should be about money. Sure, making good purchasing decisions is a part of a healthy financial lifestyle, but I personally believe their reviews sections are very thin and are just there to get people to buy the magazine off the newstand. No one should use Money, for example, to figure out which car to buy. I hope they don't.

I am mostly pleased I subscribed to Money magazine. It helped me learn about a lot of great stuff. I believe I have outgrown it now, but I wouldn't dissuade others from subscribing to it as long as they are very careful with the stock advice and don't treat it as a checklist for stocks to by. Be careful, be careful.

   Summary: Best For Beginners
I subscribe to several financial magazines, of which "Money" is one. I think that "Money" is an excellent publication for neophyte investors, as it does provide generally sound information and advice. It is very good at explaining terminology in plain English, which is to be applauded, but investors with more knowledge of investments and financial planning would probably be better off with another magazine, like "Kiplinger's", for instance.

"Money" covers primarily investments in mutual funds, bonds, and stocks, although real estate and retirement planning are also dealt with regularly. I like the investment index feature in the back of the issue: it is honestly the only part of the magazine I routinely use anymore, although I do skim the articles, and read one or two per issue. My chief complaint with the magazine is how formulaic the articles are. It seems like every month there is an article called "The Best Places To Put Your Money Now", for instance. Timeliness is a good thing, but the magazine endorses long term investing (as do I) so the last thing I want to be doing is thinking about where to move my money to this month.

Beginning investors: this is an excellent magazine for you, and I say that without reservation. Overall though, "Money" is not bad, but if you are already fairly knowledgeable about financial management you can do much better.


 Rating 5   Written on March 4, 2004
   Summary: Great steppingstone to other financial resources
Money magazine is an excellent starter magazine. The information in Barrons, Smart Money and other magazines will go over the heads of those with little or no investment knowledge. Many people don't know financial terminology such as 403(b), ESOP, Wrap fee, 529 plan, and load fund. Money magazine is a gentle introduction to these concepts. You may find in a year or two that you have outgrown Money and by then you should be able to move onto other financial magazines. The negative reviewers here fault Money for being unhelpful in stock-picking. However, there is a lot more to Money magazine than stocks. I personally find the information on taxes, mutual funds, retirement planning, the housing market, saving strategies and the latest business news interesting and helpful. If your interest is mainly in stocks I recommend Barrons instead. But for overall financial knowledge Money is the best magazine for beginners.
