From AudioFile

According to savvy money manager Judy Resnick, women are targets for financial vulnerability unless they take total charge of their lives once and for all. Resnick is a tough-talking, streetwise, rags-to-riches survivor of financial disaster, who shares her hard-knock stories in order to wake women up. According to the author, most women don't realize how important financial independence is until it's too late. Resnick's coarse delivery of her private life disasters reveals a tough woman who has overcome financial loss as a daughter, wife, and businesswoman. Her shared business advice and investment tips stem from her indomitable drive to achieve investment competence and financial freedom. B.J.P.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unusual story of survival and a lesson on independence, February 18, 1998

By A Customer

Judy Resnick explains, through her own mistakes how to deal with life and live in reality. I love her openess about her own life and that she admits that she did a lot wrong before she got it right. I can relate to that better then some M.B.A. that went to school and never lived. As women, we need this reasurrance. Not all of us have the advantage of an education or experience with money until a tragedy hits. I thank her for her honesty. This book is just wonderful

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a cool book, February 17, 1998

By A Customer

A lot of people are talking about this book, which is both an amazing life story and some great advice on how to get your financial life together. I'd recommend this for all women and for men, too, since Judy Resnick teaches you how to be smart about money, which is a lesson everyone should learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars great gift for my mom, May 21, 1998

By A Customer

I bought this book as a gift for my mother. She doesn't like to talk about personal finance very much, but I thought she might enjoy this book and be able to learn something from it at the same time. Sure enough, she enjoyed it and is more comfortable talking about finances than she was she before she read it. Great book.
