Smart Women Finish Rich

By the way ladies... any idea how your household finances are doing? I do actually, and from what I hear from women around me, so do they. The assumption David makes that women leave the finances to their husbands, seems a little outdated. We're getting more and more into stocks, savings, investments and mortgages.

Good luck with becoming a millionairess!


Women can talk about mutual funds over lunch, too!   July 29, 1999

I'm a boomer and an artist, and I steadfastly avoid reading "how-to" books about where I "should-be" in my savings. Debentures sounds so much like dentures, that I steer clear of the whole Wall Street world. But David Bach's book, Smart Women Finish Rich, not only penetrated my "artistic curtain," but actually changed my woeful banking habits. His book is clear and precise, underscoring how any woman can be rich, regardless of salary. Kind of "it's-about-savings-stupid" love tap to the wallet side of your brain. Not only do I have an idea what mutual funds, bonds, stocks, T-Bills and T-Notes are, I've put together, for the first time in my life, a portfolio. And it doesn't stop there. Bach writes clearly about health and life insurance policies, and I'm currently reexamining my own. How can a person who comparison shops for canned tomatoes not do the same for insurance and pocket the difference? If you need help getting started on a savings program, don't miss this wise financial primer, written by a guy who handles portfolios worth more than half a billion dollars each year.


A must-read for women who want to live well   July 27, 1999

I was astounded at how much I gained from this book: not only have I been able to better define >why< I want to be financially secure, but I have been given the hope that even on a low salary, I can still make a difference in my way of living and increase my security for the future. David Bach presented all his ideas very effectively and thoroughly. Reading (and implementing) the strategies presented will forever change my life. The best part is, anyone can do it!

This book will start you down the right road. David Bach explains the world of money and investment in away that everyone, both men and women, can understand. Only 2 weeks after reading this book I feel more secure about my future and the direction I want to take!
