You may think that marital bliss means money doesn't matter, but in today's troubled economic times, that's simply false hope. And with layoffs galore and debt mounting, financial stress is through the roof. Think keeping afloat and affectionate is impossible? Think again.

This inspiring, action-oriented guide helps young women in committed relationships understand and manage their money matters. Complete with charts, graphs, case studies, and tip-based advice, this succinct, straightforward guide speaks to worried women in the same way that made On My Own Two Feet a mega-success.

Accessible and easy to follow, the three-part process presented in this book teaches you how to:

  • Accurately interpret your current financial condition

  • Become truly involved in the costs of the couple

  • Move forward using the "three powers steps to financial success"

This expert author team is here to help once more. Clearing up confusion, stating the truth, developing a plan—and now, helping create a happy home.

 

Reviews:

"Overall this is definitely a great book for those who are just starting to figure out their personal finances because it offers some very basic tips as to what to do. Each section of the book includes stories of real women and the consequences of not knowing what their partners did with their money. I would definitely recommend the book to those who are in serious relationships and do not discuss money. The book's simple exercises may make the money talk a bit more organized and fruitful. There is also a companion website where you can check out the exercises for free."

"Thakor and Kedar take you through some new agey visualization and some nitty gritty education to help you get to "financial strength," as they put it. They emphasize that partners so often talk about shared values in almost all ways, except for where it comes up with money, and that's the unspoken conversation that ends up biting them in the ass later. They argue: "The bottom line is that financial compatibility is as important as emotional and physical compatibility when it comes to the success of a serious, committed relationship." (They even have a financial compatibility quiz. Fun times.) So get naked, people. As if you needed another good reason."
