Customer Reviews

Horrible company that doesn't communicate at all. - Reviewed on 2009-07-04

I have contacted Smart Money Magazine about 10 times letting them know that my address had changed and they never changed it. After 6 months of not receiving the magazine, I asked to cancel and they never got back to me. Horrible Company. Whatever you do, don't move or need to talk to them about anything.
A good value - Reviewed on 2009-05-20

Smart Money is a good combination of investment advice and personal finance. It adds insight with well-written concise articles and is a good addition to the other business magazines that I read: Forbes, Fortune, and Fast Company. The promo price from Amazon makes it a no-brainer.

I subscribed for a year, was disappointed right from the first issue, not going to renew. A few good articles, but most content is lightweight or irrelevant to me.
Feature articles from my current issue: Modern day wildcatters in the Texas oil fields, Buying event tickets from a broker, How to get married at an Irish castle or a lavish Paris hotel(5pgs).
Plus: Fishing rod reviews, Wine auctions, Summer in our national parks, Is a $325 razor worth it? (yes) or a $175 razor? (no), Test on $700 worth of silk ties: will catsup and coffee stains come off tie?...
Interesting, but not why I subscribed. None of these are going to make me any smarter when I decide what to do with real money.
Great on personal finance - Reviewed on 2009-04-15

This is one of the better mags out there. Great personal financing. This is great for the newbie to money and also advance users.
Fad-following, lacks depth - Reviewed on 2009-03-22

I've had this subscription for a year now and will not be renewing it. After month 3 I had stopped rushing to the mailbox to get it. After month 6 I had stopped reading it altogether. The stories lack depth and context.

I've switched from taking SmartMoney to The Economist and I am much happier.
