Wasik, special projects editor for Consumers Digest and author of eight other books, suggests sound investment strategies for households netting less than $100,000, such as joining an investment club and capitalizing on employer-sponsored retirement plans. This user-friendly guide is peppered with chatty anecdotes and ""kitchen table tips"" (among the best is a list of ""25 More Ways to Automatically Save for Investments""), as well as chapter summaries and a guide to financial resources online.
