Book Description

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR MONEY?

* If your husband died, could you keep living in your current home?

* Do you know how much money you have for retirement?

* Are you afraid of becoming a "bag lady"?

Many smart, competent women feel insecure about dealing with money. They delegate authority to their spouses or an adviser, or they pretend financial issues simply don't exist -- and at the same time they fear they will suddenly be left without money. But ignoring your financial safety can lead to disaster. Here, in plain English, are all the answers you need to feel secure about your future.

The Money Club contains the lessons of a group of successful women who, despite their personal and professional achievements, didn't know enough about their finances. They joined together to learn what they needed to know, and now they share their knowledge with you. Here are all the answers you need for saving, investing, and planning for your future -- plus advice for every major financial transition in your life, from getting married to coping with widowhood -- presented in clear, easy-to-understand writing.

Don't let your "bag lady fears" overwhelm you -- take control of your finances today with The Money Club!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, except for the diamonds., August 28, 2001
This review is from: The Money Club: Is Your Financial Future Safe? What Every Woman Should Know (Paperback)
Melt away your fears of finances with THE MONEY CLUB. I have read a bunch of these index books about wealth, and this one is serviceable, covering most of the basics. What this book has that others don't: it reaches women on a personal level and lets us know WHY we need to start paying attention to our money and our financial futures. The ladies on the cover (members of the NYC based money club) are described just enough so that you get to almost get to know them. Interspersed throughout the text, you read about mistakes that they made before they joined the club and took back control of their lives. This personal touch made me think twice about some subjects which had made my eyes glaze over when I read about them in other books. I found the book very motivating and extraordinarily revealing. We can make a lot of mistakes in our wills and in the way we title assets: these can come back to haunt our heirs if we don't think of certain consequences. I appreciate the concrete illustrations of what can go very, very wrong! There were only a few tidbits that I did not agree with. I do not agree that a woman is helped by thinking of a diamond as a future re-sale item. On the other hand, I liked the suggestion that women who don't have their own sources of income might "ask" their husbands for a few shares of a mutual fund instead of jewelry or whatever is a fashionable marital gift these days. Whether you are a working woman or a Wife with a capital W, this book is full of eye-openers and good advice. Reading The Money Club can be a giant first step to building psychological security about your financial future.
