Key Takeaway
Women must take ownership of their financial lives — not because men cannot be trusted, but because no one will care about your money as much as you do. Save in your own name, invest for your longer lifespan, and never let fear keep you from the conversation about money.
The Review
Suze Orman's Women & Money tackles the paradox that women are often better investors than men (studies show women earn higher returns on average) yet feel less confident about money and are more likely to defer financial decisions to others. Orman argues this disconnect between competence and confidence is the central financial challenge women face.
The revised and updated edition includes a financial action plan covering saving, investing, retirement planning, insurance, and estate planning — all tailored to the specific challenges women face, including longer lifespans, the motherhood penalty, and the emotional relationship many women have with money. Orman writes with the directness and urgency that made her America's most recognized personal finance personality.
