Budgeting is very important, and women often face unique issues that need to be talked about. Luckily, these books address some of this. And, whether we like it or not, money does usually control our opportunities and, more generally our life. I believe that having a solid financial plan is key for all your other goals in life, and these books are perfect if you know you need help with budgeting.

At age 31, while in the process of a divorce with no child support, alimony or other source of income and only $2,000 to her name, Nancy moved herself and her children 70 miles and started her own business in an industry she knew nothing about. At the new location she was offered a salaried position at a higher pay than she ever had before but realized they were hiring her at the top of the ladder leaving no place to grow. She knew she did not want a job – she needed a career, so she proceeded to start her own financial planning and asset management business. She knew nothing about saving, investing or financial planning and had never owned a CD, mutual fund or anything other than a savings account, and set out to learn what she needed to do a great job for her clients and build a successful business. She felt even if the business didn’t work out, what she would learn about managing money would help her to raise her children. After building the business to $200 million in assets under management, she sold her practice.
