Amazon.com Review
David Bach's Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it's also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach's approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that "people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money." In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that "financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one." Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. --Brad Doll

Warning bells started ringing in my head when early on the book the author recounts how he commiserated with one of his female seminar attendants that of course she doesn't have time to manage her personal finances, who does? At that point, I knew the book wasn't for me and I started skimming. He later (surprise!) suggests that readers seek the service of financial planners, even though he admits that they could cost 1-3% of your portfolio value annually. Other infractions include promoting variable annuities (he downplayed the cost and asserted that any costs would be recouped with the annuity's tax advantage!) and using VERY sloppy math to supposedly illustrate the Roth IRAs superiority to the Traditional IRA. The only reason I didn't give the book 1 star was that there was some standard common advice, such as every woman should know where her family's money is stashed and other similar advice.

While there are many good ideas in this book and it contains sound philosophy, the present economy has rendered some of the advice suspect. Charts and tables given have people earning 10% interest for example! I wish. IRAs are one focus but when I went to my bank to discuss getting one, I found that money market accounts were getting a better interest rate currently than IRA's... and with a money market account the funds are available if you need them before retirement age. With updating, the book would be very good and helpful but as is, I am not sure if it has good information or not.
