I thought this book was for those girls just getting out of college or high school. But the examples throughout the book were from women in their 30s and 40s. I found it very sad that women are "bullied" into financial situations. For example, to combine checking accounts, leaving the woman with no funds of her own. I guess because both of my parents had a financial background and instilled their ethics onto me. A lot of this book is common sense, although I did manage to pick up a few tips. Mostly other books to read and websites to investigate. I thought it was hilarious that the author (Lois Frankel) is a corporate coach because I'm also rereading "Bait and Switch" by Barbara Ehrenreich, where Barbara goes the coaching route to find a "job."
