I ordered Kiplinger's and Money magazine for my mom who is nearing retirement age. She's relatively inexperience when it comes to personal finance and retirement planning. She does use an investment adviser, but hasn't seen much growth in her accounts, and is confused by much of what the adviser tells her. My recommendations to her were, first, find a new adviser, and second, to do some reading to educate herself with the basics. With my second suggestion in mind, I signed her up for a year of both Kiplinger's and Money in hopes that she would be able to make more informed decisions when working with her adviser.
It's been about 6 months since the first set of magazines arrived, and she is very happy with both. Interestingly, I've noticed that she quotes articles from Kiplinger's much more often the from Money. I would recommend either Kiplinger's or Money to someone getting in investing, or looking to improve their general knowledge of financial vehicles, investment strategy, and financial goal setting.

Kiplinger's is a great magazine for the middle of the road investor (middle class). Also there are many timely articles that can get you motivated and started on the path to financial stability. I find it both entertaining and informative with articles on taxes, paying for college and comparable city cost of living indexes. This is not the king of investment magazines but more of a "you can do it, it's not that hard, and this is how to get moving". Again, I don't think you go wrong with this one!

Kiplinger's will help opening your perspective on investment and market.
This magazine is for everybody who want to know and learn how to approach your pension investment.

I would love to review this magazine, but unfortunately I have yet to receive any issues. Instead I have been getting "Field & Stream", which I did not order. I wrote the so-called "Amazon Help Dept." over a week ago asking them to check this situation out. They promised a response withing 24 hours, but I have heard nothing back. Maybe this review will get some action. I hope so.

I didn't recieve that product so far so I am totally dissapointed. I didn't have any problems with purchases made trought Amazon.com and this one was a disaster.
