Purchase options and add-ons

You can rule your finances, or your finances can rule you—what women need to know.

The loss of a spouse or partner is traumatic and having to deal with money issues can be challenging. To rebuild your life, you need to get a grip on your finances as quickly as possible. That means figuring out your sources of income, devising a budget, and much more.

Making the effort to learn about money will give you the knowledge and confidence to handle your own finances. Financial security is personal freedom. Money Confidence provides practical, can-do advice that covers the gamut from creating a budget that works to investing, where to turn for financial advice and estate planning. In addition, it will include a short tutorial on Kerry’s 3-part financial fitness plan: How to get financially, physically, and spiritually fit. These three steps are at the core of building a rich, independent life.

Money Confidence provides divorced or widowed women with essential information that can transform their lives. This book should be viewed as a survival kit to help you protect the assets you have, pay the bills, organize your income, and help you navigate the grief with positive action steps through difficult transitions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replace "money fear" with "money confidence"
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2017
Verified Purchase
As the author of "The Single Woman's Guide to Retirement," I'm only too familiar with the statistics: That there's an 80 - 90% chance that if you're a woman, you'll be responsible for all decisions, financial and otherwise; that single adult women now outnumber married adult women in the United States; and that choosing to be a "freemale," gray divorce, marrying at a later average age, and the death of a spouse makes "Money Confidence" a necessary book.

As with all Kerry Hannon's books, expect relatable stories, along with a concrete, actionable roadmap - in this case, replacing "money fear" with "money confidence."

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for Women Only. Superbly written and great advice.
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017
From the author of the bestseller, "AARP Roadmap for the Rest of Your Life": You don't have to be a woman to get so much out of this superbly written book. Kerry Hannon once again demonstrates her ability to relate to readers while conveying in-depth concepts in easy-to-understand prose. You have the distinct feeling you are, as she describes, "walking alongside" her as you and she talk about finances and life. She asks all the right questions and provides guidance and direction. A must for every bookshelf.
