Where is it written that women don’t do money?

The Financially Confident Woman

The least every woman needs to know to manage her finances and prepare for the future

By Mary Hunt

When it comes to women and finances, times have changed. Statistics show that an increasing number of women are making more financial decisions than ever before, yet many don’t feel they have enough knowledge to make those decisions.Personal finance guru Mary Hunt answers the call and offers women essential money know-how in this second edition of her award-winning book, The Financially Confident Wman.

Originally released in 1996, this new and expanded edition gives women the tools to get out of debt for good and create a debt-proof future by changing the way they view money.

The Financially Confident Woman features Hunt’s inspiring journey of her unwavering faith in God, hard work and perseverance that helped her repair the damage caused by years of credit card abuse and wasteful spending. As a self-proclaimed shopaholic who was $100,000 in debt, Hunt worked for thirteen years to save her family’s financial life by completely changing her perspective and relationship with money.

“Being in debt is NOT a money problem,” explains Hunt, “it’s an attitude problem. Realizing that is a woman’s first step to financial independence.”

Since getting out of debt, Hunt has shared her experiences and wisdom through her books, seminars and newsletter—giving millions of women the motivation to get out of debt, too. “We don’t have to accept financial insecurity as some kind of life sentence,” Hunt said.

Incorporating Hunt’s renowned 10-10-80 Debt-Proof Living plan, The Financially Confident Woman gives women advice on how much to give, save and spend to get out of debt rapidly.  And unlike the first edition, this recently-released edition features timely information on credit scores, debit cards, online banking and identity theft—important financial tools and topics that weren’t around for the first edition.

Written for women of all spending habits and debt-levels, The Financially Confident Woman provides the tools to:

  • Stop using credit cards for good;

  • Pay off all existing unsecured debt quickly;

  • Live below your means with class and dignity;

  • Replace bad money habits with good ones;

  • Prepare for financial emergencies; and

  • Sacrifice without feeling deprived.

Understanding the demands of today’s busy women, Hunt’s treatment of personal finance is anything but exhaustive. She gives a crash course on the basics so any woman can learn to become financially confident right now. Moreover, her story gives women the inspiration that financial independence can be theirs. As Hunt says, financial confidence is a choice.
