Book Reviews of Smart Women Finish Rich
Book Review: Really make a difference!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently read David Bach's "Smart Women Finish Rich" and I really would recommend not only women, but everyone to read this book. Frankly, this book was recommended by my friend and has been lying on my desk for almost 3 months without even flipping the page. Even though 2 weeks ago I tried to start reading before going to bed, it hasn't gone far beyond the introduction. Then it happened 2 days ago I brought this book to the car dealership and read while waiting there for 3 hours. I just couldn't wait and instead of going straight back to my office, I went to the corporate benefit center and start investing to 401K and other stock options our company provided which I should have signed up for since my first day of employment. Plus, I spent that night writing my goals and values, trying to plan thoroughly about my future and where I should be heading towards. His theory is not limited just to improve personal finance but can apply across other goal or dream people might have. It really makes a great impact and I can feel I am more mature and realistic than myself 2 days ago. ( at least I am not considering myself as a financial illiterate anymore)David always stressed in the book " to help and add values to others" is the only way to success. It 's a simple theory but people sometimes may be blinded due to selfishness or greed. I believe in David's word and really want to share this book with million other people.
Summary of Smart Women Finish Rich
Many women, whether they've managed million-dollar budgets at work or managed kids, bills, and car payments at home, feel at a loss when it comes to figuring out their financial futures. Often, they leave the "big" money matters to the men in their lives, or they put off making important financial decisions that could affect their lifestyles down the road.Now, in Smart Women Finish Rich, David Bach finally gives women the tools and the program they need to create rich futures. A renowned financial advisor who has coached thousands of people looking for financial security, Bach has developed a proven system for women that can make them better financial planners than men.
Bach has found that women tend to be naturally great investors when they learn to tap into their values. He has discovered that while men tend to focus on earning money for "things"--cars, boats, golf gear, etc.--and frequently switch stocks in their portfolios, women who prioritize their "values"--security, freedom, and education--are able to commit easily to a long-term savings and investment plan to build futures they really want.
Whether you're working with a few dollars a week, a significant inheritance, or a savings account that's been earning just 3 percent, the Smart Women Finish Rich approach toward saving and investing can provide a huge payoff. Secure your financial future and achieve your dreams by following these seven steps:
1. Learn the facts and myths about your money.
2. Put your money where your values are.
3. Figure out where you stand financially... and where you want to go.
4. Use the power of the latté factor to create massive wealth on just a few dollars a week.
5. Practice Grandma's three-basket approach to financial security.
6. Learn the nine biggest mistakes investors make and how to avoid them.
7. Follow the twelve commandments of attracting greater wealth.
These seven easy steps will transform your relationship with money, and Smart Women Finish Rich will put you in control of your finances and your future.
David Bach's Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it's also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach's approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that "people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money." In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that "financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one." Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. --Brad Doll
