Customer Reviews

Oprah's kind of book

I'm a big fan of Oprah and applaud her goal of encouraging reading. Most of her books are great and life changing. If you truly want to take charge of your finances, Nancy Lloyd's book, "Simple Money Solution" will work for you. It worked for me and my friends because it is, just as its name implies, simple. By that I mean that it clearly and simply explains how to get a handle on your money, how to put an end to spending on autopilot and how to replace self-defeating money habits with better ones. It doesn't take "courage" to be rich. It just takes a savvy book and an open mind. This book did something for me, my sisters, my mother and my friends that other money books did not -- Simple Money Solutions worked!

Breaking the Last Glass Ceiling

I bought this book for my daughter who just got her MBA. While the pay gap between men and women is reportedly narrowing, most women still don't know how to make the most of the money we have. That's too bad since we're likely to be on our own financially for at least several years in our lives (more women are not ever getting married or their marriages are ending due to divorce or death of a husband). This book showed me what my daughter and I need to know about money through the various milestones in our lives. This book does for money what "PLAY LIKE A MAN, WIN LIKE A WOMAN," by Gail Evans does for work-life gameplaying. Since they're not teaching any of this in college, you should buy copies of both books for your daughters and keep a copy of each for yourself.

Nancy's a Great Money Coach

Nancy Lloyd gave me just the motivation and solid advice I needed. She showed what to do to shape up my finances, when to do it to get the best results and she gave me the confidence to tackle it. Best of all, I'm succeeding! I wish I'd had this book years ago.

"Terrific" -- MONEY magazine & Morningstar are right!

I was overwhelmed by the number of personal finance books on the market. So when MONEY magazine, USA TODAY, CBS Marketwatch and Morningstar all recommended the same book, I figured I had little to lose.Even Bob Edwards says he follows Ms. Lloyd's advice. "Sensational" "Original" "Easy to Read" and "Simple to Follow" is how I would review this book. My investment club loves it too!

Simple ways to stop worrying about money

I worried about money all the time but I knew so little about it that I didn't even know what I didn't know. This book laid out a clear plan of where to begin and how and in what order to proceed. Following Nancy Lloyd's advice I've slashed my credit card costs and started taking advantage of a lot of "free money" at work (flexible spending account and 401(k)). With this extra cash (more than $3,000 this year so far) I am now starting a college fund for my kids and my family will be able to afford a vacation for the first time in three years. If you have a family or credit cards and don't want to work into your 80s this book will show you the way to financial freedom.
