Smart Women Finish Rich 9 Steps to Achieving Financial Security and Funding Your Dreams Revised Edition

David Bach’s Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it’s also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach’s approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that “people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money.” In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that “financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one.” Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. –Brad Doll

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Every woman should read this book!
This book is the book that every woman needs to read. It tells you in easy to read wording about money and how to save and invest for your future. I wish I had this book 20 years ago.

4 Stars Every woman should read
Nice that this is written by a man, who through his grandmothers lessons, has given him great advice to pass along to women today. Thank you!

1 Star I read the comments and I did not find anyone telling about the results
You all praising this book, how smart it is written, how valuable. But what are the fruits? Show them. Who can say that because of this book she got out of debts, bought a new house and moved from Harlem to 5th Avenue? Or smth like this? It seems to me that it is one more well-marketed book with no real advice in it. Everyone who wrote a review seems like struggling surviving individuals. I don’t wanna join you guys if so. Please, who can tell any real outcome they had after reading this book, and then I will buy it.

5 Stars Great book for women 15-75 yrs
I think all women should read this book and share it with others (family and children). Not only does Mr. Bach discuss how saving a little here and there can help with retirement, but he also gives women inspiration to live out (and especially to finance) their dreams. A wonderful book.

5 Stars A read for ALL Women
I bought this book because I heard so many positive things about it. I am in my 50’s, five years ago I went from having the wonderful life that all women dream of. I had the beautiful home in the suburbs, 2 beautiful children, friends, you name it I had it. Then I lost it all in the blink of an eye. I had relied on my husband to handle all the finances I couldn’t tell you the balance in the check book. All I knew was he made the money and I spent it. Thank the Lord I was a RN, but I hadn’t worked in quite a few years. I am not going to go into detail what happened but when I said I had nothing but the clothes on my back I mean just that. I have been working two jobs for the past five years making good money but I have NOTHING to show for it. By reading Suze book I was able to identify myself, it is so easy to understand that someone like myself with NO understanding of finance can take her suggestions and work them into my present life. It is going to take discipline on my part and learning to say NO to my children is going to be the hardest. But, I need to take care of myself. This book was just what I needed to read. I highlighted areas, I keep going back and re-reading certain sections. I keep it next to my bed. Buying this book was one of the best things I have done for myself.
