Nice Girls Don't Get Rich: 75 Avoidable Mistakes Women Make with Money (A NICE GIRLS Book)

Just finished this one. I took notes and I’m using the advice going forward. I intend to reread when I am ready. I will be telling friends and family to read as well. The advice is so valuable.

Why don't I have more money? Often I wonder when TXT my bank and receive a bank balance I am not happy with. Why Nice Girls Don't Get Rich has helped me reavaluate where I spend my money and also why I spend my money as I do. I love this book by Lois Frankel and I recommend it to my friends and family who have budgets but still struggle with having as much spending money as they want. Coz surely life is not all about paying bills but actually living. Lois Frankel addresses the cultural reasons why women aren't necessarily bad with money but emotionally mis-led with money and how we can learn to control the cultural messages we have been taught growing up and receive from peer pressure. I recommend this book to any girl in her 20s who wants to make more from her money than just a few guilty shopping splurges once a month!

This book is a must have for women in their 20s, 30s or 40s. Its my third copy. I am 31 and I reccommend this book. I wish she would do a sequel about stock real estate and go in more details for those ready to graduate into investing. I plan to be on millionaire status by 41 by dancing and investing cash in real estate. Good luck ladies!

Read this one cover to cover during a trip. Again, it talks about the dangers of letting your nice girl thoughts and behaviors take over when it comes to managing your money. The one gripe I have is that it focuses more on women who are already halfway to rich, working in high paying professions. However it did give me a few ideas for simple steps I can take to get better control over my finances. It also gives you the proper perspective when looking at your money -- she basically says it's your money and you shouldn't have to feel obligated as a woman to give it away to everyone who wants a piece.

Excellent gift for all Mothers to give to their Daughters, either when they leave for college or when they graduate from college or when they become Mothers themselves. Practical and helpful. Nicely clear tests, to know where to focus to achieve desired results.

Definitely have been putting some of this information to good use. This is a good book for any lady who is just starting to take an interest in actively increasing wealth and understanding barriers to increasing your money.

I think the value of this book to describe the mistakes that Lois has seen women make in the context of a business organization. Women who are not in that world may find it less relevant as the reviews have shown. I found it useful just as a description of her own observations..and I do think that it is true that many high-earning women do little or nothing to understand their own finances and just want not to bother with it. I also think it is a good idea to try to look at the big picture when choosing a career..but I also remember being young and in my 20's with my advisor trying to persuade me to go to medical school and I of course refusing all the advice of anyone over 30.

I don't know what others got from this book, but I am really loving this book. She outlines the mistakes that are made and gives you the solutions with examples of how to correct them or not make the same mistakes as other women have.

Ich hätte ja nicht geglaubt, dass es sowas wirklich gibt, aber dieses Buch hat mein Leben verändert! Es treffen sicherlich nicht alle Fehler auf jeden Menschen zu der es liest (auch auf mich nicht), aber man kann auf jeden Fall sehr viel daraus lernen und mitnehmen. Es gibt ein paar praktische Übungen die, wenn man sie ernsthaft bearbeitet, am Ende dazu führen, dass man plötzlich einen Finanzplan hat. Das allein war für mich echt eine Erfahrung. Und plötzlich läuft's. Seit ich das Buch gelesen habe ist ein halbes Jahr vergangen in dem ich meinen Umgang mit Geld komplett umgekrempelt habe, es hat mir wirklich langfristige und nachhaltige Erkenntnisse gebracht die sich sichtbar auf meinen Kontostand auswirken. Ich habe eine Woche gebraucht um das Buch vollständig durchzuarbeiten und werde jahrzehntelang davon profitieren. Ich kann es jeder und jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen!

If you belong to this generation, please get some other (any other) financial literacy book that's not written from the perspective that can only come from a life of privilege. This quote in the book made me stop reading it "financial illiteracy is a choice" - if you can travel outside your glitter ball, to any place, where even getting access to resources for financial literacy is almost impossible. Just don't.

Tres american et pas vraiment actuel.

This is a great book! Until I read it I actually thought I was managing my money brilliantly. Now I know that I wasn't and also that there is a lot I can do to rectify this. I've already started to put some of the fantastic advice in this book into action.

This is absolutely a MUST for every woman wishing to achieve more. Easy to read and every tips are so concrete to apply to your life... I recommend it!
