Every women should own this book regardless of race!!!

Cheryl Broussard presents logical & easy to follow steps for women to gain financial independence & to build wealth. You are never too young or old to start saving or putting your "financial house" in order. I also would advise buying her other book, Sister CEO.

The book is dynamic, informative and a must for all women

This book has changed my financial life. After reading this book, I realized all the things I buy myself because I deserve them are because I want them. I am now in the process of building that 25K - 50K savings account. Thanks Ms. Broussar
