Dee has penned several finance books, her newest, Money. Simple title, but not a simple book. Everyone knows how important it is to make the most of their money. You try to spend wisely and save as much as you can. But to achieve true financial success you’ll have to move beyond the basics and learn about money management. If you only buy one finance book this is one you want!

Women & Money published by Flying Pig Publishing is the ultimate book about women and money.  Dee gives women no-nonsense financial planning advice and then takes that advice one step further in the second half of the book where that advice is tailored to the very different roles women take on over their life time being somebody's wife, ex-wife, widow, mother, daughter or partner. This is a must read for women of all ages! Women & Money covers all aspects of personal finance that are important to women. A guide to financial freedom, the book provides information for you to design your own financial plan and broaden your understanding and mastery of money.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Retiring Early, is all about catching the golden ring before age 65. So much of Dee's time is spent advising pre-retirees that a book about retiring early seemed a natural. What you need to know to achieve that illusive dream of an early retirement is all included in the book. It's fun and easy reading.

Let's Talk Money, is a guidebook to help the reader understand the maze of personal finance. This book provides the reader with the nuts and bolts of the financial planning process and helps them set realistic goals that are achievable. The book will serve the do-it-yourself reader as well as the know-it-yourself reader that just wants to gain confidence with the financial planning process so they will know what to expect from their advisor. 

Dee's first book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to 401(k) Plans, published by Alpha books of Macmillan  is essential resource material for the retirement plan participant. The title here is misleading for the book was not written just for the novice investor but offers the more sophisticated reader the opportunity to learn as well. Not only does it cover 401(k) plans but it includes self-employment retirement plans such as the SIMPLE IRAs as well good information on IRAs.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Retiring Early  treats investing as a means to an end. It's not about easy answers; it's about the best path to smart answers. It's about defining what you want out of life and enlisting your money as an ally in that quest. There is nothing formulaic here. No two readers will come with the same goals or leave with the same answers. But all readers will have learned how to outline the problem, focus on the right issues and ask intelligent questions. There's much to master: stocks, funds, insurance and pensions. But when you've framed the questions correctly, as Dee Lee has done, you'll find that even a money idiot can take control of their finances and by extension their lives. As Dee says, its about having options. you have more than you think and this book shows you how to choose the path that's right for you.

You'll see that Dee Lee's advice is not only uncompromising in its philosophical commitment to helping the investor succeed, its also peppered with practical tips and insights that only someone who's been in the trenches would know.

"The responsibility investors bear for their own financial well-being has never been greater. How sad it is that the task has never been more daunting! What type of mortgage, which mutual fund, which insurance policy, and, oh yeah, what about taxes? It's enough to drive even the most dedicated saver crazy. Thank goodness for Dee Lee's fun and lively Let's Talk Money. This book covers the big picture...all the stuff you know you ought to be planning for, but just can't seem to get around to doing. If only the list of people I need to send this book weren't so long!"
