~Third Age News Service

"A well-written and well-researched book. It fits easily into the genre of motivational books, which talk about changing belief systems before you can successfully change behavior. In this case, the belief that needs to be changed is that someone else will do the work for you. Each chapter is neatly summarized with a list of things women can do to begin their financial education."

"Prince Charming" need not be a man, or even a person. Our "prince" could be an ideal job, an insurance settlement, the lottery jackpot, or just an amorphous "something"—anything that we fantasize will save us financially. We must get to the point where we can say with total conviction, I can do it myself. Until we cast off our dependency and know with every fiber of our being that the quality of our future hinges on our assuming responsibility, we will never fully take charge of our finances. We'll never really believe we can do it ourselves—not as long as even a tiny part of us is waiting for, hoping, expecting someone or something outside ourselves to do it for us.
~Barbara Stanny,
