Flirting with Finance

Flirting with Finance

Flirting with Finance takes financial principals back to basics by making fun analogies with dating, fashion, fitness and horoscopes while providing a step-by-step guide to getting started. This book transforms eye-glazingly boring financial information into a fun and flirty page-turner that will send readers on their way to financial independence. Authors Anneli Knight and Virginia Graham understand the intimacies of financal planning and that busy women don't always have the time or desire to get bogged down with tedious details.

Knight and Graham found a report released by the Financial Literacy Foundation, Women Understanding Money that revealed a staggering 52% of Australian Women find dealing with money stressful and overwhelming and that 2% of women have no savings for retirement. Aware of the damage this could do to any woman's future, Knight and Graham got started on Flirting with Finance, a book that takes readers through the important first-steps of realising goals, creating a plan and identifying investment opportunites, right through to understanding the economy, budgeting, credit, taxes and retirement.

This book also shows women that they don't have to be frightened by the words 'online trading', 'mortgage' or 'financal planning', instead, this book shows women how to be savvy, careful and clever with their money and how to plan for their future and reap the benefits of their hard work.
