Corporate executive-turned-entrepreneur Neale Godfrey says personal money management is the last unrealized frontier for women. Her Making Change: A Woman's Guide to Designing Her Financial Future, written with Tad Richards, seeks to rectify that with advice on all aspects of fiscal control, from budget creation to investment. Her down-to-earth approach, bolstered by anecdotes in addition to quizzes and questionnaires, is appropriate for everyone from the new college grad to the new mom to the newly divorced woman.

Book Description

Once upon a time, women didn't worry about money. Daddy took care of things before you were married, and your husband took over after. But these days, life has changed dramatically, and no woman no matter where she is in her life-can afford to carry around hand-me-down, outdated attitudes and expectations about money.

In Making Change, Neale Godfrey—single mother, successful author, and entrepreneur—gives you empowering advice on how to take control of your financial life, whatever stage of life you're at: starting out on your own; coupling, uncoupling, and recouping; taking care of you r kids and your older parents; taking care of yourself. Full of quizzes, planning tools, and inspiring anecdotes, Making Change shows you how to discover your financial personality (Are you Clueless? A traditionalist? A Contemporary Classic?), and teaches you the life skills you will need to "make change" in the ways that count most. You'll learn about banking and budgeting; creating, maintaining, and repairing credit; saving and investing; and making important and responsible major financial decisions: everything you need to know to design and create the financially secure life you want—and deserve.

Customer Reviews:

Same old stuff.......2001-12-24

This book is no different than any other finance book I have read. Except this one is so poorly written and offers no constructive suggestions. The language is difficult for the beginner to understand, despite the author's claims that the book is suitable for beginners. I trashed mine after the first few chapters. I can't believe there are people who would publish this kind of .... It is shocking.

Waxing Philosophical.......2000-04-28

Making Change advocates that women change the way that they think about money so that they take an active role in their financial life, starting at the earliest stage possible. The book is divided into life phases from dating to death and offers a "user friendly" approach. Chapters contain quizzes, mock interviews, and personal stories to keep the reader's interest. Most of all it offers a philosophy that women should follow in order to gain financial freedom. Godfrey calls her philosophy "Design it, do it." In other words, make a plan ahead of time for your kids' college tuition, your retirement, etc. Don't wait for your spouse or the fairy godmother to take care of it is Godfrey's point. The book lacks serious financial facts such as how you might short a stock and when to do it or the differences between adjustable rate mortgages and fixed rate mortgages. So don't turn to this for serious financial enlightenment but do turn to it for an inspirational non-threatening approach on how to get your financial house in order.

This book has been the most helpful book I have ever read!.......1999-04-09

If you are in a situation in your life when you feel that it is time for you to gain control over your finances, this is the book for you. After reading this book I am no secure enough with my knowlegde to open up my own account and organize the bills. Before reading this book I felt that my husband will always do the 'money stuff' for me, I never really thought twice about how important it is to understand your own finances. By this book, read it cover to cover. Also, it was pretty funny at times, Making Change is well written and humorous. Buy the book!!

AWESOME! .......2007-08-15

I just picked this book up from the library, and now I just have to buy it for myself! This book has ingenious crafts for a very comprehensive list of classic fairy tales, children's stories, children's songs and nursery rhymes. To begin with, I couldn't have come up with a better collection of titles for my small children (stuff for babies, thru first grade, or so). The craft ideas are seriously original and very functional. The materials used are very common household items, and the instructions are clear. Most of the crafts are not so much for the kids themselves to make, but for an adult to make and use to present these classic works in a memorable way. Make Pinocchio's nose grow, the Old man "SNORE" (no kidding, it's really silly and fun), Jack climb the bean stock, and the Ginger Bread Man run... really! RUN!

I'm going to use this for homeschooling my kids in the classics. I'll bet they memorize each and every one. The only possible draw back to this book is that you must provide the stories themselves on your own. No biggie.

Book Description

It’s a very special day for four young cousins on a mission to gather the loveliest flowers in bloom. Where will they find their beautiful bouquets? Not in the greenhouse, not in the field, and not even in the treehouse village. So they wander through the forest, pause to make a daisy chain, and stop at the shop where the florist finally tells them where to go: the secret garden. And why do they need such sweet blossoms? As a surprise—for the bride. This floral fantasy of stickers will delight every young girl.

For mature audiences.......2001-01-17

While these volume two projects are again attractive and book-related, they are not particularly useful for librarians and teachers with limited budgets and prep time. The author states in the introduction that they were planned for "ten participants between the ages of four and ten" and cost "between twenty and thirty dollars". The projects use a lot of craft store materials in addition to tapestry needles and hammer and nails. I doubt that the parents of my story time kids would be comfortable with them wielding implements of that nature! It does include detailed supplies list-just enough for the ten intended participants, who would have to be pretty mature to produce most of these "with only minimal help". For kids in the upper age range these may work just fine, and adults may enjoy quite a few of them too. There is a "Blind Mice Puppet" project that is a dead-ringer for "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse"! Appended with project patterns, which are mostly full-size, and macrame diagrams.

For mature audiences only.......2001-01-17

While these projects are certainly quite attractive and book-related, they are not particularly useful for librarians and teachers with limited budgets and prep time. The author states in the introduction that they were planned for "ten participants between the ages of four and ten" and cost "between twenty and thirty dollars". The projects use a lot of craft store materials in addition to wire cutters and hammer and nails. I doubt that the parents of my story time kids would be comfortable with them wielding implements of that nature! It does include detailed supplies list-just enough for the ten intended participants, who would have to be pretty mature to produce most of these "with only minimal help". Older children (or even adults)with artistic abilities will find much to like here, however.

Book Description

In this book the author explores the sociological foundations of domestic design in eighteenth-century France, the acknowledged leader of domestic architecture in this period. Focusing on the Place Vendôme, which was developed by the financiers of Paris, she examines the representational strategies and dilemmas of French elites, which were crucial to the formation of a French mode of design. Through analyses of social distinctions and ambitions, Ziskin explores the manner in which the dwellings of the Place Vendôme embodied beliefs about the nature of society and the appropriate relations among social groups.

Book Description

Over 1.5 million Americans use wheelchairs for a variety of causes: a congenital condition, traumatic injury, or disease. People who depend upon wheelchairs for mobility are in varied situations. They might live independently or need attendant care; live alone or with family; be employed full-time or no longer working. Despite differences, people dependent on wheelchairs face some similar medical issues and a need to cope with changed circumstances. Life on Wheels: For the Active Wheelchair User is for people who want to take charge of their own life experience while using a wheelchair. Author Gary Karp, ergonomics consultant and long-time chair user, describes:

Medical issues (paralysis, circulation, rehab experience, choosing the optimal wheelchair, scientific progress toward a cure)
Day-to-day living (keeping fit, skin care, bowel and bladder care, sexuality, home access, maintaining a wheelchair, wheeling technique, insurance)
Psychological and social issues (grieving loss, self-image, adjustment to life change, friends, family, asking for and being helped, cultural attitudes, history of disability, and activism)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent book for new and older wheelers.......2006-05-17

This book is an excellent book for anyone who uses a wheelchair. It has tons of medical information, how to choose the perfect wheelchair, and even stuff on building relationships. I highly recommend it to any wheeler, new or old!

Great Book.......2004-01-29

I found this book helpful even though I am quite a few years into my spinal cord injury. I think this book should be given out to the newly disabled so that they can see how full their lives still are. I know mine is...

Well written, highly informative and insightful.......1999-11-17

A very pragmatic approach to "life on wheels", provides an insider's viewpoint with large amount of facts, references and helpful hints. Great book.
