This review is from: Get in the Game!: The Girls' Guide to Money and Investing (Paperback)

I have been looking for a book like this for the last 5yrs!! Finally a book about finances directed at young women, written by a young woman! Vanessa Summers shows us how to prioritize our savings & re-evaluate what we spend in order to create a secure nest egg for our future, a safety net to fall back on, and some 'fun money' for now! She shows us how to set & achieve realistic financial goals. My views about money have been forever changed, and I am so excited to now have the knowledge to be responsible & in control of my financial destiny! Thanks for writing such an informative, inspiring & enjoyable book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Girlfriends' Guide to Money, February 10, 2002

This review is from: Get in the Game!: The Girls' Guide to Money and Investing (Paperback)

Nice book with lots of helpful information (e.g., charts, tables, lists, etc). The target audience seems to be women in their 20's and as I'm in my 30's I still found it helpful. It's a good beginner book.

Aside from financial stuff, it's motivating and somewhat inspirational -- but not obnoxiously so.

A great gift for a any youngish woman (or guy) who has just graduated, gotten a first professional job, or needs a little push to get financially organized.

This review is from: Get in the Game!: The Girls' Guide to Money and Investing (Paperback)

For any woman who finds the idea of taking charge of her financial future daunting or dull, Get in the Game is the perfect antidote. In plain English and with entertaining analogies, the book breaks down the basic financial concepts that any woman who is not INDEPENDENTLY wealthy needs to know. A great primer for women on personal finance and investing!
