About this title

Synopsis

Former CNN/CNN International Anchor and Business Correspondent Alison Kosik ―recognised around the globe as the face of Wall Street for the network ― found herself trapped in a failing marriage. The savvy mother of two, was terrified to leave her husband. Why? She didn’t have the confidence to take on big financial decisions on her own. Despite spending her working hours explaining financial and business concepts, she had allowed her husband to take charge of all their big money decisions ― from buying a house and how to finance it to their investments and retirement savings ― and had no clue how to do any of it on her own.

It sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

But Alison is far from atypical.

It turns out plenty of educated and high-achieving women ― married or single ― avoid getting involved with managing their financial lives. In What’s Up With Women and Money? Alison gives a step-by-step action plan on a variety of money topics. Alison also interviews dozens of women who share their cautionary tales of why avoiding money decisions can lead to bad outcomes.

Alison also talks one on one with inspirational women like Sheryl Sandberg, Rebecca Minkoff, Jessica Alba, Barbara Corcoran, and Deepica Mutyala ― women who inspire other women and help them gain confidence ― to take control of their financial lives.

Alison simplifies complicated financial topics of investing, car buying and paying down debt, breaking them down into easy to follow steps, with practical tidbits that make each page accessible, digestible and fun.

By the end of What’s Up With Women and Money?, women will not only feel empowered and confident about their finances, but they will also feel ready to take action after being motivated without judgment.
