Translating finance, in dollars or dinero
For many people, speaking the language of money is like trying to learn a foreign tongue. It can be frustrating.</br></br>Many books seek to help you learn the language. And every month, I search for those I find useful or unique.</br></br>For this month's Color of Money Book Club pick, I'm recommending a book that literally translates the language of money.</br></br>Lynn Jimenez, an award-winning business reporter for KGO Radio 810 in San Francisco, has written "?Se Habla Dinero? The Everyday Guide to Financial Success" (Wiley, $19.95). What's so fabulous about this book, which was published last year, is that from the table of contents right through to the index, Jimenez provides side-by-side Spanish and English translations. The Spanish is on the left-side pages, the English on the right.</br></br>Although anyone will benefit from this basic personal finance guide, Jimenez wrote this bilingual guide specifically to appeal to multigenerational Hispanic families.
