Reviews

Two nieces, two daughters, several younger aquaintances all have enjoyed this wonderful book. It sould be on the curriculum as it contains more knowledge than most teachers I have met have of these essential life skills. No wonder the place is a mess!

I bought this for myself as I was faced with having to deal with the money, never having done so before. I gave it to my job-hunting daughter to read the section on asking for pay increases and how women don't like to talk about money. She read it all the way through, told all her friends about it and clearly was never going to give it back, so I ordered a second copy to give to another daughter. It's clear, simple and essential reading.

This book has totally revolutionised the way I think about money, I've lent it to all my friends. As a student who is just starting out, I am in (student loan) debt and don't have any expendable income and was getting quite stressed about money. Reading this book has given me a far clearer focus, I would absolutely recommend it.

I was first given a copy of this book a year ago and its straight forward explanations of all things financial were so straight forward that it all suddenly made sense (unlike maths classes at school in years gone by!). I've since bought copies for my friends to share the wisdom. It really is a well written, amusing yet highly practical guide book to the mysterious world of finance. There are loads of money saving hints and also a lot to think about,such as the psychologies employed to make us buy stuff we don't really need and how we are tricked into buying insurances.
Whether like me you have avoided all things financial or are a bit more clued up, I think there is something in there for every woman to discover. I urge all women to buy a copy for themselves and for their friends.

I did not like this book. I do not like books that dictate how one should live their life. I hate books that make women feel guilty for staying at home to take care of the kids as much as I deplore books that make women feel guilty for succeeding in a career. Women and men have to make difficult choices when they begin families and no one has the right to belittle those choices.
