Terrific intro to personal finance for young women

For any woman who finds the idea of taking charge of her financial future daunting or dull, Get in the Game is the perfect antidote. In plain English and with entertaining analogies, the book breaks down the basic financial concepts that any woman who is not INDEPENDENTLY wealthy needs to know. A great primer for women on personal finance and investing!

An essential read...

Despite being in banking for most of my professional career, I have always had trouble in managing my own finances. It was a scary topic for me, and I found it easier to ignore the whole thing! This is the first time I have ever read anything that presented the whole issue in a reassuring, 'you can do something about this' kind of way. And I have done a lot on the topic since I read the book. I have bought this for my sister, my co-workers and would recommend it for any young woman. It is essential information, presented in a fun and motivating way.

Super Helpful

This book is a great staple to any collection of books on finance. It takes a heady topic and brings it to my level, in language I can understand. This book offers true tips - things I can I actually act upon instead of just think about. I highly recommend it!

A Great Guide For Young Women During Our Rough Times

Things may be getting difficult out in America, but Vanessa Summers does a wonderful job of keeping young women focused on what's important in these days of recession and terrorist attacks. I highly recommend this book, and hope that young readers will take Vanessa's advice to heart.

Exciting, Inspiring & Motivating!!!

I have been looking for a book like this for the last 5yrs!! Finally a book about finances directed at young women, written by a young woman! Vanessa Summers shows us how to prioritize our savings & re-evaluate what we spend in order to create a secure nest egg for our future, a safety net to fall back on, and some 'fun money' for now! She shows us how to set & achieve realistic financial goals. My views about money have been forever changed, and I am so excited to now have the knowledge to be responsible & in control of my financial destiny! Thanks for writing such an informative, inspiring & enjoyable book!
