Discuss “Smart women don’t need this book”
Meet David Bach, financial advisor turned author. Bach has been pumping out books containing advice that everyday people can apply to their finances since 1999. He has written a generic manual, The Automatic Millionaire, in addition to several books targeting specific groups. Examples include Smart Couples Finish Rich; Start Late, Finish Rich (for an older audience); and the upcoming Start Early, Finish Rich, which might come in handy for life after graduation. But Bach’s FinishRich series has one more part, targeting yet another societal niche: women.

Smart Women do need this book, because most women are NOT smart about money. Especially those in my 60ish age bracket. David, my son, wrote this book because too many of my contemporaries were getting divorced in their 50s and 60s and being left in a dreadful financial state. He wrote it to help women take control, even if they are "safely" married. You can poo-poo it all you want, but David has helped thousands of women take control of their finances. Possibly you might learn something if you take the time to actually read the book.
