Amazon.com Review
Online investing may get the lion's share of attention, but Jennifer Openshaw says the Internet really is the perfect vehicle for managing all personal finance information--especially for women, whose fiscal requirements often are ignored by traditional guides to money management. In What's Your Net Worth?, Openshaw, founder of the Women's Financial Network and a frequent financial TV commentator, describes a complete 12-step wealth-building program that combines sound advice concerning women's precise needs with Web sites that should be helpful in addressing them. It boils down to mixing time-honored (albeit gender-specific) techniques with today's technology to develop a three-part game plan Openshaw calls "Earn It, Save It, and Grow It!" Toward the second goal, for example, she describes various ways that expenses might be trimmed to increase savings, "not only by using online budgeting tools to get a handle on your spending but also by devising an online strategy to spend less on the things you still need to buy." Other individual actions focus on eliminating debt and building credit, protecting assets, minimizing taxes, increasing earnings, and giving back through charitable contributions. --Howard Rothman

From Publishers Weekly
Convinced that most women desperately need to make smarter financial choices, Openshaw, founder and CEO of the Women's Financial Network, offers a comprehensive guide to online resources that help women take charge of their finances. She offers advice on key topics such as getting a loan, buying a car, choosing a broker and planning for retirement. The book's breezy, pleasant manner, sidebars packed with resources and sound advice will benefit newcomers to financial issues, but more sophisticated readers will find the material and many of the Web sites familiar.

I found this book to be the most informative financial book that I have every read. If you are only going to read one book to help you manage your finances, this is the one. I consider myself well informed and this book gave me ideas and methods of handing my finances that I had never heard of. I regularly recommend this book, it is great!

Fear of our own finances can literally leave us shaking when it comes to taking control of our financial lives. I travel on business, so I take Jennifer Openshaw's book with me on the road! I surf the Web sites she recommends when I have free time, and I read the antecdotes from women she's interviewed on the plane. I have bought numerous copies of the book for co-workers, and will be giving it to friends as well. It's a book that can be read quickly - but then re-read it, mark it up and make notes in the margin....above all, follow Jennifer's advice. She writes from the heart and experience.

This book was fabulous! I loved the personal accounts of all the different women and their financial stories. It really spoke to me in particular because I was divorced several years ago, and all of our joint assets were in my husband's name. It was incredibly difficult to start all over again, trying to build credit, and get loans. I was forced to become financially independent, but learned everything the hard way. If only I had known earlier what I know now! I would recommend this book to any woman who is looking to build wealth or secure her financial future. A great resource no matter what your age, marital status, or career!
