Money Management for Women

A user-friendly, comprehensive guide that offers commonsense and practical financial guidance for women through the various stages of their working lives – from their first part-time job through to retirement. It covers such topics as budgeting, banking, living well for less, renting and buying a home, avoiding debt, debt repayment options, and starting a small business. The book contains a useful budget sheet and yearly planner, as well as many contact addresses of organisations that can offer help to women with financial concerns. Sheila Freeman has worked as a financial counsellor for ten years and has a wealth of experience in counselling and teaching in the areas of debt management and budgeting. She is an active member of her local community, a director of a family business and a wife and mother. Sheila is well placed to advise on the broad range of issues covered in this book. Helene Richards is a writer, editor and publisher, and her experiences as a wife and mother have all provided her with the necessary skills to make Money Management for Women an accessible, information-packed resource. Between them, Sheila Freeman and Helene Richards have confronted, either personally or professionally, most of life’s financial challenges.
