A must have
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

I bought this book several years ago & I still have it. This book was more informative than any other single mom's financial books & I've read at least 6 including this one.
Not only was it more informative but it also includes other topics I would have never thought to read if it wasn't in this book.
I really love all the topics in this book & I started to branch out into these categories since I purchased the book in 2007.
My current husband & I are both money cautious so he enjoyed the topics when I read it the 2nd time with him.
Other reviewers mentioned that none of this is new information but the author gives more insight to the topics that got me to invest without the fear.
I loved the chapter on credit, knowing what is a bargain, knowing when to invest & starting your own business.
Great book for another but especially single mothers.

Really Helpful Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2009
I have several personal finance books that I've purchased throughout the years. However, none of them provided me with as much knowledge as this one did. This is an easy to read, easy to understand book that covers the basic money principles everyone should know. I have recommended it to several of my friends - even those who aren't single moms! This book isn't for the savvy, financial investor. It's for those just starting out on the road to financial independence.

Very practical suggestions
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2013

The author, a former single mom, gives some practical suggestions about improving the single mom's circumstances. The most valuable part of the book (for me, a mom with a stable income) is the section where the authors explain practical ways to think about retirement and possible ways to invest your money. They explain various CDs, IRAs, bonds, funds, insurance, etc. The explanations are basic and good for women who have a steady job, stable life, and now have to think about the future.

There are sections about getting out of debt, saving, health/life insurance, and starting your own business. Some of it is common sense but all suggestions make sense. Now, the hard part is doing it!!

It's a very practical book in a no nonsense, neutral tone.

Nothing new (at all)
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
I bought this for a penny, and I'm still giving it just two stars. Every other personal finance book I own or have gotten from my library has been more practical and more interesting to read. Maybe I've just read too many of these books and have personal finance book fatigue--there is a LOT of repetition from book to book on this topic!

That said, if I were in a situation of dealing with child support, I might get something out of that section. I imagine it's quite difficult to find specific advice about that topic, so hopefully some folks will find that section useful.

General overview, but not comprehensive enough
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2005
I was looking for a second perspective on personal finance books to make a comparison with "Personal Finance for Dummies 4th Edition."

While the writing style is acceptable and the author seems knowledgeable, I don't feel there is enough content compared the the Dummies book.

The big thing I liked about this book is that it spends a chapter section about the present/future value of money and how money compounds in an interest-bearing account. The author shows a basic equation, but also provides some quick lookup tables to save time on calculations. This section does give a sense of how money can grow. Most other personal finance books don't even discuss the math or give examples, and I think everybody should understand the basic math behind this concept, as it applies to anything that gains interest (your investments, bank accounts, etc.) or charges interest (your credit card, mortgage, etc.)

The other thing that was good were the worksheet examples to allow you to tabulate your expenses and do a net worth analysis (list your assets and liabilities).

But for many other topics in the book, it gives too general description of the topics, and it does not offer too many examples or anecdotes to help reinforce the concepts. The Personal Finance for Dummies book does try to use examples or anecdotes to try to press the importance of the topic to the reader a little better.

I would not bother with this book. It is "ok" and cheap, but the content needs more substance.
