Customer Reviews

Helpful, Realistic Financial Advice
This is a personal finance book you'll actually ENJOY reading!
It doesn't contain any get-rich-quick schemes, nor does it offer any unrealistic promises or guarantees.

What it does do is help you identify your own "money type" (how you use money in general), and then gives simple lessons on how to best improve what needs improving.

Easy? Not exactly. As I said, there are no quick-fixes offered here. The lessons take time and effort. But if you do them, they're sure to work, because they're based on good sense, and an understanding of how women relate to money issues.

Reviewer: Linda Painchaud

It really IS more than money!
Like so many people each January, I recently searched my local bookstore for yet another book to help me start the fiscal year off right. This one caught my eye because it seemed to be directed specifically at my financial issues--and I wasn't disappointed. It's More Than Money is literally the first financial advice book I've read from cover to cover, and I highly recommend it to other women or indeed anyone who struggles with daily and lifelong financial issues. The authors' friendly step by step approach is truly do-able--I've even signed up at their moneyclubs.com website to keep me going! The book has given me the confidence to say that 6 months into 2004 I'll still be sticking to my plans.

Easy Money Advice
Flipped through this book looking for tips on getting out of debt and realized it would help me with all of my money issues. (In fact it made me aware that I had more money issues than I thought I did.) Thanks for a good solid guide that I can understand! These authors should do seminars too.
