1.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Beef?, November 18, 2003

By A Customer

Women who want to take control of their financial future should skip this book. Instead buy anything by Suze Orman. Any one of her books will give you more tools to equip yourself for handling money, since this book gives none.

This book recycles old ideas about attitudes to money, but doesn't give you any information on managing money itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic, Encouraging, Helpful and Fun!, January 28, 2003

By	A. ONeal "Angie" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book very positive, encouraging, easy to relate to, and entertaining. The advice is realistic and honest, and putting it to use doesn't feel like a chore. This book shows how you can be empowered through handling your finances well, and shows you that you likely already have good habits to build upon. Highly recommended!

If you want to educate yourself about how to manage money, this isn't the book. Browse any money book shelf, buy one that actually shows you how to budget and maintain a budget and get equipped to take control of your money problems. This book won't help.
