On her wedding day, Mary Hunt breathed a sigh of relief because she would no longer have to worry about "man stuff" like car trouble and money. But the seeds of financial disaster had already been planted during her free-spending college days. Years later, she and her husband were both unemployed and $100,000 in debt. But instead of giving up, Mary changed her habits, paid off her creditors, and took control of her financial life with confidence. In this book, she invites others to learn from her mistakes with a unique blend of humor, insight, and common sense.
A good 'tips' book for creating new money behaviors - easy reading, nice gift idea

Written by Mary Hunt - the editor and founder of the Cheapskate Monthly - the Financially Confident Woman is a quick read with lots of sound ideas for stretching a dollar and establishing financial independence. Pertinent scriptures are quoted for inspiration and motivation. This short book is a great gift idea for women trying to take charge of their finances and clear their financial clutter. It also works out as a nice "bathroom" book - there is one tip per page, so it makes for easy browsing. The advice is perfect for helping anyone create new money-related behaviors. Again, nothing too outrageous, but nice reminders just the same.
Help is here for the financially challenged!

I found this book to be extremely helpful and informative. Mary Hunt offers practical advice in a manner that makes you feel like you're listening to advice from a good friend or relative who has been through it all. She also made me feel like I wasn't a freak for having bad financial habits but that I needed to learn how to break them. For those of you out there who are compulsive spenders (like myself), this book is a great way to start getting on the right financial track.
Practical, funny, encouraging help from one who's been there
