Review:

The Financially Confident Woman is a spiritual based book that looks as trying to change how you view money. Although there are tips for money management the main focus of this book is to get you to see that you can change your bad money habits and to get you in the mindset of saving money.

The book opens with the author telling how she got out of severe debt and how a bad business deal added more problems for her and her husband. She also had a problem with overspending and relying on credit cards to fuel her lifestyle.

The main goal of this book is that the author wants every woman to have the financial skills needed to take care of and understand all of their finances. Even if you're married or share expenses in a long-term relationship, no one should have their head in the clouds when it comes to finances.

The author gives the reader a general overview of money and financial subjects. I think this book is mainly for readers who have no idea where to start in trying to get a handle on their finances. Or, if you look at it in a different way, someone looking for a slight refresher on money management. I probably would have rated this a little higher but the information (although good) were things that I had read or heard before.
