Turning smart girls golden; the women’s guide to personal

Honey is designed to encourage women of all ages to take a
greater interest–and play a greater role–in the
financial issues that affect their everyday lives and financial
futures. Conversational, irreverent, and intelligent, this guide to
wealth creation, wealth management, and financial protection as it
relates to women and their families provides exactly the kind of
advice that smart women today need to know in order to take charge
of their finances.

Organized by decade and the events–from childrearing to
retirement–that need to be planned for, presently enjoyed, or
recovered from, It’s Your Money, Honey is packed with expert
information in the no-nonsense style of a girlfriend who knows her
stuff. Finances aren’t that hard, you just have to deal with them
yourself.

* Finally, a book that understand that every woman needs to make
time for a personal finance education

find yourself with a spare second, providing important information
in bite sized chunks

* Helps women prepare for major life events with the help of real
life stories, helpful checklists, and easy-to-apply Golden
Rules

Born out of the notion that too many smart women let their
financial situations be ignored, swept under the rug, or dictated
by others, It’s Your Money, Honey is everything you need to
know about money but were too busy to ask.
