This book isn't something that I would normally pick up on my own, but one of the women in my book club picked it as our monthly selection. We all ended up really liking it. It was full of great tips for getting your finances in order.

3.5/5....I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to resist the temptation to roll my eyes at the truly awful titles personal finance authors choose to use, and this one is no exception. HOWEVER, I loved how this book started out with the assessment of current finances and the reader’s attitude toward money. The author prompted me to think about why money is important and what I want to use money for before heading into the goal setting section, and I appreciated that. I didn’t always agree with the advice given and I do think this book is a little too overwhelming for a beginner (throwing all types of insurance and retirement plans into one chapter is a little much), but I also appreciated the breadth of information. A lot of books seem to only focus on retirement and investing - I liked how this author addressed other aspects of financial life too. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this book for just anyone and I’m not sure how often I’ll go back to it, but I’m glad I read it.

An extremely approachable take on finance focusing on investing, especially for retirement. What Bach lays out is relatively easy to tackle and navigate. Highly recommend this to anyone, not just women. I plan on reading two of his other books— The Automatic Millionaire and The Latte Factor to delve deeper into some of his advice. Doesn’t feel condescending or like I’m walking away embarrassed about my current financial situation.
Well written and conversational. Not a bunch of finance jargon and what of the jargon there is, he explains concisely.

Great finance book for women. Practical, good concepts, easy to use if you are interested enough to read it. Girls like advice from girls, but Suze O manages her money so poorly I'm not intersted in taking her advice.

At first, for me, this inspired the kind of panic, anxiety, and terror that most people would have if they read a traditional slasher novel. After some deep breaths, I was able to read through to see the solid foundation of financial literacy. I feel like it'll be something I return to as I hit new parts of my life.
The one thing I will absolutely take issue to is the suggestion in one of the commandments that women should smile to get ahead. Ugh. Seriously? Let's all remind women that we are only window dressing here to please the eyes of menfolk.

So this was... well it was a ride for sure. I skimmed, as most of this stuff was either obvious, outrageous, or just told in such a patronizing way.
