Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Do you find yourself struggling to pay your bills each month, even though you earn a salary that would make your parents proud? Is your tendency to spend impulsively whittling away at your long-term goals- like owning a home, going back to school, or planning a dream vacation with your family? If you're tired of feeling powerless over your finances and are ready to start funding your dreams, then come on, girl- it's time to get your money straight!

Author and financial expert Glinda Bridgforth knows that healthy money management is rarely just about dollars- it's about getting to the root of why we spend what we do and recognizing the emotional and cultural issues that play out in our unhealthy financial habits. A sought-after financial counselor for African American women nationwide, Bridgforth has first-hand knowledge of the unique factors that shape the way black women manage their money, and she has devoted her career to helping sisters take charge of their finances and grow their money tree. Girl, Get Your Money Straight! presents her seven step program for holistic financial healing-an upbeat, empowering roadmap that you can use to identify your heart’s desires, break away from negative spending patterns, conquer the checkbook blues, and create new wealth.

Beginning with simple, engaging exercises to help you initiate a "dialogue" with your money and offering an inspiring overview of African Americans' history of financial savvy and prosperity, Girl, Get Your Money Straight! outlines seven financial prescriptions that will guide you step-by-step to financial security. You will learn how to:
-Set goals that speak to your heart and provide you with lasting motivation
-Balance your checkbook and determine your net worth
-Develop a spending plan (not a budget!) that allows you to pay your bills and still have fun
-Track and analyze your spending to avoid slip-ups
-Pay off outstanding debts
-Save for a rainy day—and a bright future
-Find additional sources of encouragement and advice

Filled with Bridgforth's warm-hearted wisdom and advice, and complete with worksheets, exercises, affirmations, and inspiring stories of African American women who have found financial peace of mind, Girl, Get Your Money Straight! is a fresh, fun, and eminently practical guide to healing your bank account and building a life that you love.
