A must read for every young woman early in their adult life. Have now given over a dozen copies to family members and friends. Filled with very practical advice. The author's 25 Dos and Don'ts share excellent information and present important guidance on key financial matters faced in life. Better to learn early and try to avoid as many common financial mistakes as possible.
