Recommendation

Women face disadvantages when it comes to handling money, says author David Bach, particularly those who were raised to believe that family finances are a man’s responsibility. Although his book is addressed to “smart women,” Bach’s goalsetting and investing guide is helpful to men as well. He’ll make you love organized lists: In addition to the subtitle’s “nine steps,” there are “three myths,” “ten biggest mistakes,” and more. These lists help make his recommendations usable and memorable. Despite some self-promotion, Bach offers basic wisdom that emphasizes values and sensible practices. If you find it easier to talk about religion and politics than about money or if you’re making only minimum monthly credit card payments, you’ll find his counsel very grounding.

Take-Aways

  • Take nine steps in planning your financial future.
  • Step One: Compile your ”financial facts of life.”  
  • Step Two: Examine your values about money and why you want it.
