Product Description
Sure, most young women would love to live a carefree lifestyle filled with lunches, Louis Vuitton and lattes, but what many don't know is that doing so can lead to a serious financial breakdown down the road. "On My Own Two Feet" teaches young women what they need to know about savings in language that matters and makes sense to them. Financial planners Manisha Thakor and Sharon Kedar will show readers how to: make a budget; avoid the perils of imprudent credit card use; invest for the future by harnessing the magical power of compounding interest; guard against the unexpected with the appropriate types of insurance; and prepare for the future. By offering women the key 20 per cent of financial advice (minus the complex mumbo jumbo) that drives 80 per cent of a person's financial wealth, the authors will show women that the sooner they learn to apply these basic strategies, the more likely they are to achieve the typical lifetime financial objective of owning a home. Along with other financial objectives, it provides for oneself and/or a family, being able to take fun vacations (and yes, wear designer labels), and retiring in comfort - free of financial stress. Succinct, straightforward, and visually appealing "On My Own Two Feet" will redefine "personal finance 101" for women in their 20s and 30s.
