Someone who hasn't got a grip on something as simple as the contents of their own wardrobe probably has difficulties in other areas of his or her life, too.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-1496335842356176162012-07-10T21:01:45.843+02:002012-07-10T21:01:45.843+02:00For me, it is the first book about money I have ev...For me, it is the first book about money I have ever read. Usually, I am very careful about dividing any topic into a "typical male" and "typical female" approach, and I'd say that the advice Suze Orman gives here is just as good for men as it is for women.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-458797407763468432012-07-10T18:05:45.658+02:002012-07-10T18:05:45.658+02:00I read this book a couple of years ago.

It's interesting isn't it, for Suze Orman to make a connection between cleaning up your closets and your relationships with the bottom line on your check book?

It's excellent for women and men too. Elizabeth Warren is very practical.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-64642163343333370702012-07-09T19:37:18.672+02:002012-07-09T19:37:18.672+02:00That's sad but true, Friko.

I am glad to say that I have, ever since I was 18, worked and - after completing Librarian School - earned enough to take care of myself, without depending on any man. It served me well whem my first marriage ended in divorce and the second one with my husband's death.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-12348353935596666232012-07-09T18:30:09.714+02:002012-07-09T18:30:09.714+02:00To deal with your money you must first have (earn)...To deal with your money you must first have (earn) some. To be able to ask for a raise you must have a job. The best advice for women is to earn their own money and keep control of it. <br /><br />Sadly, too many women still don't have either.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-23540395421976900162012-07-09T11:08:58.015+02:002012-07-09T11:08:58.015+02:00Jenny, I found it for free in the US Kindle shop o...Jenny, I found it for free in the US Kindle shop on Amazon.com, not on .co.uk.

I am usually bored with paperwork of all kinds which includes money. I get so bored and fed up even switching my money around into different accounts to get better interest, but I know I should know more about it. <br /><br />I too switch between fiction and non fiction . There is not enough time! !!!Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.com
