Review:

We don't talk about money enough. There are lots of discussions about consumer spending habits, especially this time of year, but the therapeutic conversations that keep people from making major financial blunders often never take place. So Syble Solomon, who gives lectures on the psychology of money, came up with a creative way to get people to open up about their finances. She's created Money Habitudes, a deck of cards that individuals, couples and groups can use to explore how certain attitudes support or sabotage their financial lives. This simple but extraordinarily insightful game is the Color of Money Book Club selection for December. When I come across a tool that I think is useful, I ll recommend it instead of a book. The point of my picks is just the same: to expose you to good personal-finance information. ... What I like about this money game is that there's no judgment ... So get a deck of these cards and start talking. --Michelle Singletary, personal finance columnist, The Washington Post

Money Habitudes cards are comprehensive, varied, non-judgmental and above all, fun. Kudos on developing a great instrument! --Dr. Michael S. Engs, Counselor/Human Development Education, Pima Community College, Tucson, AZ

The cards are a non-threatening, easy-to-use tool that allows people to talk about financial topics that are often difficult. --Robin McKinney, director of the Maryland CASH campaign, a statewide network of organizations that promotes financial stability for working families
