Smart Women Finish Rich by David Bach
Once a woman learns to take charge of her finances, she will never go back, asserts author David Bach in Smart Women Finish Rich, his guide for women who want to organize their finances, determine their net worth, and formulate goals for financial success. The book, based on Bach’s educational seminars, helps readers overcome the fears that often lead to financial paralysis and short-sighted decision-making. “Don’t get bogged down by the stuff you suddenly feel you should have done years ago but didn’t,” he advises. “The issue is what you will be doing with your new-found knowledge once you finish reading this book.”
Once he helps readers to understand what they want money to do for them, Bach provides advice on insurance, retirement savings plans, and investing in stocks and mutual funds. The Canadian version is tailored for this country’s tax laws, regulations, retirement planning strategies, and resources. Bach understands that money is not just a number in a bank account statement–it helps people fulfill dreams. And understanding which goals are worth pursuing is the foundation on which all smart financial planning is based.
