How to Turn Your Money Life Around: Money Book for Women - Softcover

For many woman, "How's your money life?" is as important a question as "How's your love life?" -- but harder to answer. Many women were never taught appropriate, useful money beliefs, attitudes, and skills. In fact, they learned that handling money was the exclusive province of men. As the social fabric of life changes, women who are not comfortable dealing with money find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. This book helps women identify attitudes of fear and shame about money, develop useful self-management skills, and learn how to change their money behavior. With deep understanding of the difficulties women face, Ruth Hayden teaches easy, concrete money skills any woman can master.
