Don't let naysayers keep you from reading this book, February 7, 2004
By A Customer
Obviously a lot of the reviews written here are about people's objections to stay-at-home moms, not the book itself. I am a feminist, and there is nothing wrong with helping yourhusband or partner earn more money (man, if you don't like the idea of staying home with your kids, than don't do it-- don't tell people to earn thier own money and let the husband stay home! Geez! Feeling a little insecure about your own choices?)
This book is really a great idea, and not a new idea either. This is the attitude my grandmother had about her husband's work, and she was much more financially stable than most women today. Obviously you want to have your own work skills, bank account, savings account, in case of death or divorce, but for many women who can not possibly do any more penny-pinching, and who either don't want to use up thier time with thier children running a business from home, or are already doing so and could use more money, this is agreat resource.
Good job to the author! Thank you for writing a book about something that us women have been thinking about.
I think this book is worth its price, even on a stay at home mom budget!
Kids have the right to be cared for by people who love them, and I think any book that helps a women or man stay home with thier own children is a great addition. I am going to recommend to my library that they buy this book.
As for the folks who review this book and criticize moms at home, why are you reading tis book in the first place? Seems thou dost protest too much.............

Fantastic Advice!, March 9, 2003
This book is a modern day solution to a time-honored method of family life. How many of us can afford to raise a family on one income these days? Not too many. Not long ago, however, this is the way it was usually done! In these economic times, a family must have a workable program to follow in order to accomplish this goal. That is exactly what this book provides.

Great Resource for (Wannabe) Stay-At-Home Moms!!, March 4, 2003
All the techniques described in this book were used by the author to help lead her husband to financial success. The result was her husband's income increased over 300%, and she is now at home with their children (I think given the choice, most women would stay home with their children if that were an option).
Helping your husband succeed will bring your family closer together because you're working as a team toward financial success. This isn't about "getting rich quick" but just using your husband's God-given abilities to support his family. Together you make a great team!
