From Booklist
Compound interest. Bear and bull markets. Debt consolidation. Heard all those money terms before, from the likes of Suze Orman and other financial celebrities? Bridgforth (Girl, Get Your Money Straight! 2000) and money expert Perry-Mason enjoy a monopoly on a different angle of the money game: appealing to African American women, who now earn and spend ever-increasing billions of dollars each year. The authors' unique selling proposition? One, great personal and client anecdotes that speak to a variety of life situations, whether it's a divorced mom caring for three children or an older couple nearing retirement. Two, exercises at the end of each chapter that involve more than a calculator, such as an activity that painlessly eases readers into stock market research by using Yahoo! to look up names of familiar brands. And three, content directly targeted to spiritual and emotional needs, such as how to develop a mission statement. All that's missing? A workbook for practice--and a recording that shouts, "You go, girl!" Barbara Jacobs

Great book to get you started,

This review is from: Girl, Make Your Money Grow!: A Sister's Guide to Protecting Your Future and Enriching Your Life (Hardcover)
First I must confess to being a guy so maybe not the target audience. Haven said that I think this is a great book regardless of your gender. What I really liked about this book was that it took the fear out of investing. I am a qualified accountant yet investing still filled me with dread. This book broke down the whole mystery of investing into simple steps and gave me the confidence to just go ahead and start!

This review is from: Girl, Make Your Money Grow!: A Sister's Guide to Protecting Your Future and Enriching Your Life (Hardcover)
This book is a must have for everyone interested in getting their financial houses in order. Both of these women spoke at a networking brunch I attended in San Francisco on Mar.6'04. I bought the book (yes, it is signed by both of them) and started reading it on my way home. This book is full of tips on clearing your debt, ways to supplement your income, how to save your money, steps to help you understand your spending habits, information to help you understand investing and your investment options, planning for retirement...I could go on. I've been sharing information with friends everyday, so I'm going to just get them their own books!

This review is from: Girl, Make Your Money Grow!: A Sister's Guide to Protecting Your Future and Enriching Your Life (Hardcover)

This is a true sister-to-sister conversation about using what you already have to build your nest egg--you. Glinda Bridgforth and Gail Perry-Mason tell us that we are our biggest assets and then they show us how to harness our talents and skills to be more productive financially. They state, "Be willing to invest in yourself, and graciously receive and enjoy boundless dividends for life."Bridgforth and Perry-Mason should be applauded for their efforts to educate and arm African-American women with the tools necessary to attain more income. The plan they've outlined and presented is straightforward, logical and concise. They have even provided testimonials from those who have tried their plan and they themselves have included their own personal stories for inspiration. This book is awesome. All women should know the secrets within the pages of this novel. It takes the mystery out of investing. For those of you struggling with your finances or those that simply want to increase your net worth, read this book; it will change your outlook on how to increase your income and motivate you to begin now.
