Financial Planning for Women
By: Ernst and Young

Written by female Ernst & Young partners, Financial Planning for Women is among the most valuable of the books we've reviewed. It is practical, well written, and includes statistics about women to reinforce its key messages. The book is organized around major life events for women, including marriage, child or elderly care, and widowhood, allowing busy women to immediately gain insights into financial challenges they face today. Dozens of case studies illustrate key points, and worksheets are provided to help you get organized. Action steps at the end of each life event chapter are designed to help you determine the next moves toward obtaining your financial goals. (Text taken from www. wachovia.com)
