Quick read with practical tips4
Books that promise readers financial success are flooding the shelves, and it's difficult to determine the helpful from the erroneous. I recently received Emily Chantiri's The Savvy Girl's Guide to Money as a graduation gift, and was initially wary about the validity of the content given the author's lack of professional expertise. Despite this, the vibrant colors, purse-sized pages and easy-to-read, chunky format enticed me to give it a chance. Not only the broken up format with scannable lists and reader write-ins, but also the informal voice and language make this book a quick read, one suitable for quick reading sessions while in line at the post office or in the waiting room before the next doctor's visit. The broken up format makes it easy to put down and pick right back up without missing a beat.

Not surprisingly, some of the book's teachings were more humorous than helpful, with such chapter titles as "Your Money Horoscope" and "Keeping Up With the Hiltons". But the less-than-useful tips were seldom scattered among practical, informative pointers. Chantiri does a good job of really targeting specific issues and concerns of women. From buying a car to controlling clothes shopping, the chapters address major financial choices along with everyday charges. The conventional and applicable information, along with the affable readability make Chantiri's guide great for women who are money illiterate. It doesn't cover complex finances such as pension or hedge funds, but it does encompass financial knowledge every woman, especially single women, should know. Overall it was a worthwhile read that has altered my actions and thickened my wallet. I wouldn't say that I'm going to morph into a millionaire from Chantiri's words of advice, but I would certainly say that I am a savvier girl when it comes to money.
