The real cost of living

Carmen Wong Ulrich

The former host of CNBC's On the Money, and a personal finance expert, Ulrich presents the pros and cons--the "real costs"--of buying a home, marrying and divorcing, having a family, pursuing higher education, starting your own company, incurring credit card debt, investing, and indulging in the most common American vices: eating poorly or excessively, smoking, driving recklessly.
