Finances can be an area which overwhelms many people. Most hope to be able to make wise decisions while also obtaining all they desire in life. In her book,The Financially Confident Woman, Mary Hunt sets out to help us understand how to manage our money without falling into traps.

At a time when more women are having to be responsible for their own finances, Mary shares these thoughts …

• “Nearly 50% of women in the US admit they are financially insecure and worry about that bag lady thing” (page 14)
• “Every woman, regardless of her marital status, age, strengths, or weaknesses, needs to know how to manage money confidently and effectively” (page 37)
• “Habits, in the long run, will control your destiny” (page 61)

Mary gives nine habits which a financially confident woman wants and needs to develop. This book offers steps to help the reader replace irresponsible financial habits with responsible ones. She includes a twenty one day plan to apply to your own circumstances and begin a good start in turning a financial situation around.

This book is a reprint of her book originally published in 1996. It would have been helpful to have updated some information. Many might have found it helpful to have information include online banking and paying bills automatically. Overall, there is still practical and wise help offered in this book.
