A Life in Bloom (Paperback)

Rose finds herself on her own and takes up a job at a garden shop but remains worried about her financial future.

This may sound like you—or someone you know. Regardless of age, many don’t know as much about finances as they would like. This book uses Roses story and conversations between different characters to make financial concepts easy to understand. Textbooks can make your eyes cross as you try to memorize facts. A Life in Bloom: A Down-to-Earth Woman’s Guide to a Successful Financial Future isn’t that book.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy Rose’s story as you learn about basic financial concepts:

• Investing
• Budgeting
• Determining net worth
• Building a personal finance plan
• Keeping a financial journal
• Reducing risk
• Buying real estate
• Interacting with bankers, mortgage brokers, lawyers, and accountants

Authors Justin Dyer and Nancy Farran present ideas from a Canadian standpoint that will help you make the most of your money. While this book can be used by anyone, it’s specifically geared toward women, who may have slightly different financial goals and concerns than men. Many young women, divorces, and widows struggle to take control of their own finances after life changes. Let this book help your finances bloom under expert care.
