This is a slick and beautifully composed magazine. However, the attractiveness of the composition does not make up for the lack of depth in content. I find the articles full of fluff and miss the mark as compared to alternatives in the personal finance area. I recommend that readers compare other choices before subscribing.Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine

I subscribed to this magazine based upon multiple sources recommending it. I had been buying it on the newstand so I know it is a useful mag. Amazon, however, it not the place to order magazines. Once you order you cannot cancel the order. Amazon refers you to the publisher (and good luck finding a source for that contact that doesn't require snail mail).
As of middle of May still not magazine in the mail...so now I am not even sure the subscription was processed. If the direct from publisher deal costs a couple of dollars more it is will worth it to avoid the hassle of using Amazon as the middle man. I was shocked because the customer service I normally receive from Amazon is excellent.

I've subscribed to Smart Money for the last three years. Just received an "Important SUBSCRIBER Notice" advising me that they were automatically extending my subscription into the future ad nauseum. "No more renewals to send back. No postage to pay. No more paperwork -- we take care of all the deatails for you by remewing your subscription automatically each year unless you tell us to stop."
Needless to say, I've notified them to stop. I wish I had never subscribed.

Smart Money is a great fit for the average person who craves investment information, but doesn't feel the need to spend a lot of money on the "Big Boys" like the Wall Street Journal or Barron's.
I read Barron's as well and while it's a fabulous publication, most everyday folks don't want to spend $180 for a year's subscription. At $18 for 24 issues of Smart Money, you really can't go wrong. Seriously- that's $0.75 per issue! If you can't find that much value between the covers of this magazine, you just aren't trying.
Some say that a monthly magazine can't keep up with today's markets and for day traders I might agree. However, the content of this mag is focused on *investing* not *trading* and for the majority of us who are worried about our retirements, there's a lot of great info to be had here.

It's nothing wrong with the product. However the problem is about buying magazine with this site, cause you will not get every issue, may be just 6-7 issues. I had read same comment before I bought it last year but I didn't think anything. It's a lot cheaper to buy form here that buy from the magazine publisher itself. Nothing wrong with book. Just want you to rethink before you subscript.
