Every woman should own this book!

On My Own Two Feet is an inspiring guide for women of all ages to understand and get control of their finances. This book is a joy to read and after reading each section I was eager to implement Thakor and Kedar's ideas immediately for my own personal finances. I ordered Personal Finance for Dummies several years ago and it remains on my book shelf collecting dust. Not so with On My Own Two Feet; it is a guide that I consult and use often. Thakor and Kedar have included many useful tables, examples and summaries. When my younger sister called me the other day wanting to buy a new car; I consulted Thakor and Kedar's table "How much car can you comfortably afford?". It turned out she couldn't afford much, so she decided to keep her current car. I wish this guide had been available when I was fresh out of college; every young woman deserves to give herself the gift of financial freedom and On My Own Two Feet provides a great roadmap to get there.

Valuable Information and an Easy Read

Thank you Manisha and Sharon. I'm in my 30's, have traveled the world, purchased cars and homes on my own and overall done fairly well, yet I was missing so much knowledge on investing in my future I didn't know where to get the right advice for me. I read this book in two sittings, taking down notes on the type of investment plans that should work better for me and referring to my Quickbook file to see if I was saving the right amount (I wasn't). I love the tone of the book as you share financial knowledge in layman terms without condescending and making reassuring comments for those of us who might have made a couple mistakes along the way. I am going to recommend this to every young woman I know.
Thank you!

The absolute best book to teach ANYONE how to manage their finances--and an easy, interesting read, too!

I absolutely LOVED this book. I saw this book in my community library a few months ago, and liked the cover, so I decided to check it out. Little did I know it would change my life! It changed the way I looked at budgeting, and taught me many different things--HOW to save your money, WHERE to save your money, and WHEN to save your money, among other things...and made it all easy to understand. I am 16 years old, and am going to college next year, so this book will be a great help to me, especially in the budgeting area. This book will be a lifetime finance companion for me! =)

A Life-Saving Book

This book has been life-saving to me. I'm from a surface-affluent (actually financially volatile) family, and nobody ever taught me anything about personal finance except to pay bills on time, use credit cards "wisely," and save when I can. It wasn't enough, and I made choices based on perceived (and sometimes actual) needs that put me in a hole I was too embarrassed to talk about and too ignorant to save myself from. When I saw this book last April, I was instantly drawn in by the introduction. The clear, positive, and straightforward advice empowered me. I now have $4000 in savings instead of $4, my credit card debt is down from $14,500 to $8,500, I am saving for a down payment on a house I can comfortably afford, and I am contributing to my employer-sponsored savings plan for retirement. In short, I am on much more solid ground. I can even navigate [...] with reasonable confidence! Every woman should buy this book. Even if you think you know it all, but it: there are true gems here. And if you have never thought much about personal finance, DEFINITELY buy it for yourself and any woman you care about!
