Book Reviews of Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny
Book Review: An interesting read for women who are trying to help themselves.
Summary: 5 Stars
After clicking through Suze Orman's TV program called Women & Money, I decided to give this book a try. Generally, these types of books do not seem to help me, but immediately as began reading this book the lightbulb went off in my head. I have to say that I am really happy that I bought this book. It is giving me some tools that I will need in the future as my business grows. (I even bought the book for a friend of mine.)Book Review: Awesome! I'm slowly sending it out to all my friends...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Suze's books and her show and recommend it to all my friends and co-workers. Book Review: Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for all women about financial planning. Suze gives you great advice on how to save and how to change your bad habits to allow you to save more money. I would reccommend this book to women of all ages.Book Review: Great for the novice when it comes to finances!
Summary: 5 Stars
For women who have little or no working knowledge about how finances and investments should be ran, this book is an excellent place to start. It definietely takes the blinders off--especially since women can no longer go under their spouse's credit rating should things happen that aren't forseen. In my case it was a divorce, but this book gave me a wealth of info that I fully intend to apply.
For those of you going through a separation of some sort, this is a good book to start with. She doesn't come out and mention death and/or divorce, but paints out scenarios that often leave women holding the bag and fending for themselves. There are a lot of preventative measures that can be taken also. The bottom line is that we no longer live in an age where women can rely on the spouse or significant other to provide--something has to be set aside just in case the unforseen occurs.
This book is a good investment. I strongly urge women to read it.
Book Review: recycled information
Summary: 3 Stars
Suze Orman hammers home that women need a will, an irrevocable trust and a durable power of attorney. This is information that she discusses in each one of her books. In some of her books, she goes more in-depth but this book, I found the information more basic, just that in this book, she targets women. She talks about how to come up with a 12-month plan to get your finances in order but I found her overly confident in her belief that her methods are going to work in EVERY situation. Unlike her other fantastic books, The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke and the 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, I found most of the information in this book to be common sense financial advice. I understand, though that she needs to rehash this information because not everyone will read all of her books, however, she could have easily limited this information to a single chapter in one of her better books.
