The Busy Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom

When the workday ends at five, and the cleaners close at six, and dinner needs to be (miraculously) on the table by eight, how can today's women take on the added burden of household finances?

"But they must!" says the author of The Busy Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom. Women are relinquishing to men a major source of freedom and empowerment...failing to acquire the essential financial skills they need...leaving themselves vulnerable to the effects of divorce or death.

The Busy Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom strips away the mystery and confusion that surrounds money management. In clear, jargon-free language, the book supplies a complete and concise primer on every aspect of financial planning, including: budgeting * using credit * investing * buying insurance * planning for college * saving for retirement, and more.

And the book is directed especially to women, both in its supportive tone and inclusive examples. Plus, it's packed with eye-opening anecdotes, helpful "to do" lists, and straightforward directions--time-savers for today's time-pressed women.
