Girl, Make Your Money Grow!: A Sister’s Guide to Protecting Your Future and Enriching Your Life: Glinda Bridgforth, Gail Perry-Mason
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Compound interest. Bear and bull markets. Debt consolidation. Heard all those money terms before, from the likes of Suze Orman and other financial celebrities? Bridgforth (Girl, Get Your Money Straight! 2000) and money expert Perry-Mason enjoy a monopoly on a different angle of the money game: appealing to African American women, who now earn and spend ever-increasing billions of dollars each year. The authors’ unique selling proposition? One, great personal and client anecdotes that speak to a variety of life situations, whether it’s a divorced mom caring for three children or an older couple nearing retirement. Two, exercises at the end of each chapter that involve more than a calculator, such as an activity that painlessly eases readers into stock market research by using Yahoo! to look up names of familiar brands. And three, content directly targeted to spiritual and emotional needs, such as how to develop a mission statement. All that’s missing? A workbook for practice–and a recording that shouts, “You go, girl!” Barbara Jacobs
