An Excellent Guide for Women and Money

When Dee Lee first told me whe was writing a book about money for women, I admit I was skeptical. I know that Dee is among the best at financial education. I also know, from reading her other books, that she is an excellent writer. My skepticism was not her ability, but the topic. I was not sure, given the large number of books on money and financial planning, that there was anything new to be said. I was wrong.I picked up a copy of this book planning only to skim through it. I found myself reading it. Of course, I had to ask myself why? The answer is in the title "women". This book talks to us as women. It's not just about money: it's about our fears. As women, we have many emotions about money that often keep us from looking hard and carefully at our finances. This book deals with the obstacles we place in the way of our financial freedom and then proceeds to tell us how to overcome these obstacles. Dee Lee deals with why we often do not address such a fundamental topic as our money. She then offers solutions. This is a woman's perspective on money -and having worked with clients for many years as a financial planner, we do have a different perspective then men. This difference is recognized and dealt with in the book. I highly recommend this book for all women. You may think you do not have to be concerned ever with handling your finances. This is a common response of women. Yet, as page five says "Ninety percent of women become wholly responsible for their finances at some point in their lifetime". This is you. This book is for you.

Advice You Can Use

Believe it or not, my bank advisor suggested this book - after my umpteenth phone call asking her advice about various financial problems I was having. And now this book has become my new bible of advice ! I could not believe how much I learned in such a short time - and how easy the book made it seem. There was something in just about every chapter that applied to me, my life, my finances,my future - you name it. Highly, highly recommended. If, like me, you thought Dow Jones was the designer who made those great wool slacks ( that's Jones NY !) it's time to buy this book - it's the best money you're going to spend all year.
