Review:

Corporate executive-turned-entrepreneur Neale Godfrey says personal money management is the last unrealized frontier for women. Her Making Change: A Woman's Guide to Designing Her Financial Future, written with Tad Richards, seeks to rectify that with advice on all aspects of fiscal control, from budget creation to investment. Her down-to-earth approach, bolstered by anecdotes in addition to quizzes and questionnaires, is appropriate for everyone from the new college grad to the new mom to the newly divorced woman.

From the Publisher:

Once upon a time, women didn't worry about money. Daddy took care of things before you were married, and your husband took over after. But these days, life has changed dramatically, and no woman no matter where she is in her life-can afford to carry around hand-me-down, outdated attitudes and expectations about money.

In Making Change, Neale Godfrey—single mother, successful author, and entrepreneur—gives you empowering advice on how to take control of your financial life, whatever stage of life you're at: starting out on your own; coupling, uncoupling, and recouping; taking care of you r kids and your older parents; taking care of yourself. Full of quizzes, planning tools, and inspiring anecdotes, Making Change shows you how to discover your financial personality (Are you Clueless? A traditionalist? A Contemporary Classic?), and teaches you the life skills you will need to "make change" in the ways that count most. You'll learn about banking and budgeting; creating, maintaining, and repairing credit; saving and investing; and making important and responsible major financial decisions: everything you need to know to design and create the financially secure life you want—and deserve.
