Description

Finally, there’s a money guide to help single women survive and thrive.
Single Women and Money is a highly readable guide that helps single women live a financially secure and successful life. It’s a book for the millions of unmarried women in America who must make ends meet on a single salary—which is typically less than what men earn.

Using stories of actual women, as well as data and experts’ insights, the book chronicles the financial issues of single women. It provides the tools needed to tackle their daily and longer-term needs and probes the issues specific to divorcees, widows, women who never married, and single mothers. Single women reveal their moving stories detailing how many have overcome obstacles. From there, the book provides a wide range of specific guidance on money issues targeted to singles. These include saving, spending wisely, managing with children, shedding debt, investing in line with your values, planning for retirement and long-term care, navigating Social Security, paying taxes, landing a job after age 55, protecting financial assets and leaving a legacy. Offering resources women can turn to in hard times, the authors also suggest ways society can, and should, assist single women.

I found the book well-written and comprehensive. It will help single women understand and overcome the disadvantages they face.

Elliot Raphaelson, Chicago Tribune
Single Women and Money delivers clear, concise, hands-on information. It’s the breakthrough guide to financial security that America’s millions of single women can use.

Janet Marks, PhD, executive coach, JRose & Associates
Single women face enormous financial problems. This canny guide to personal finance, geared toward a large (66 million) share of the U.S. population, spells out smart strategies to surmount the obstacles. How to handle retirement planning, debt, taxes, single motherhood, landing a job after age 55—all these vital questions get answered, and well, by the intrepid team of Margaret Price and Jill Gianola.

Larry Light, markets editor, “Chief Investment Officer” magazine
Whether widowed, divorced, or never partnered, single women all too often face greater financial challenges than do single men and married couples. This book contains sound advice and valuable resources for women of all ages seeking financial security and peace of mind on their own.

George Mannes, senior editor, “AARP The Magazine”
Finally, a book that addresses single women’s financial challenges: among them, how to manage on one income, how to spend wisely at any age, how to invest confidently, and how to withdraw savings in retirement without going broke.

Bert Whitehead, founder, Alliance of Comprehensive Planners
Single Women and Money is the highly engaging, must-read for women who are divorced, widowed, or who have never married. It's also a wake-up call to policy makers about the needs of women surviving on one income.
