Just Do It.
I was a little skeptical. Having some knowledge already, I was curious if there would be something here for me. There are scenarios of every real woman you can think of. Easily digestible and unintimidating. This is not a financial recipe book but just enough to get you going. There's no reason to wait to be financially responsible to yourself or your family Well, today I opened my brokerage account. It was the nudge I needed.A. Jones
Excellent Gift!
I'm not sure why women are willing to dive into very difficult and challenging subjects. We read about relationships, social justice issues, and of course health issues, but we struggle to dive into financial topics. This book was written for women and it is extremely well done! The interviews and personal stories are great and helped me to not only think about my financial situation, but to make changes...KVC
