* book received for review consideration

I’ve always difficult relationship with money. I’m not sure why. My parents were great savers. But I don’t think the lessons about saving were ever drilled into my head.

So with that I have struggled of my adult life with saving. I know the concepts of paying myself first. But it always seems there’s never enough to do that.

For many years I’ve worked two jobs and today I still do that, juggling multiple jobs in business just to make ends meet. In my business, being able to charge what I’m worth is also a struggle.

So when I saw this new book that came out, I knew I had to read it. This is exactly what I need to learn.

My Review of Worth It: Your Life, Your Money, Your Terms By Amanda Steinberg

It seems I have a lot to learn! Learning that I am worthy of being paid depending on your experience and expertise. Learning how to save and invest is an important practice. And practice it is.

This books takes us through your relationship with money. Many women ignore finances allowing their husbands to deal with it or just juggling bills, paycheck to paycheck.

Amanda Steinburg stresses to us that is a big mistake and I think we all know that. She believes everyone needs to understand how to build confidence when dealing with finances. And for many of us, myself included, understand that self-worth is valuing yourself when it come to money. Net worth is all about roots and wings.

I deal with the finances in my house because my husband is not great with money either. So combining the two of us means I’ll probably be working until we die. LOL – not! But I do want to change that.

This book outlines essential financial information and gives a load of advice on how women (and men!) of any age and income can create their own financial strength. She offers thoughtful exerecises and things to work through to understand where you are with your finances and spending.

The best of all is this book empowers women and teaches you money as a source of freedom, freedom from financial stress. Freedom to live how you want to and enjoy saving and spending in a way that brings you pleasure.

I learned a lot with this book. This is a resource that every single woman needs to read regardless of age. In fact, the earlier you read this the better. So gift a copy of this book to your high school graduates and college graduates this spring. It could be the best gift they ever got.
