    <![CDATA[Inspired by an episode of <em>The Oprah Winfrey Show</em> on personal finance, the Smart Cookies, five dynamic young women who weren&#8217;t always so savvy about money, formed a &#8220;money club,&#8221; and together developed strategies for turning their financial lives around &#8211; without surrendering their sanity or their social lives.<br/>In this guide, the Cookies demonstrate how women of all ages can achieve financial security. They share their own stories, offer easy-to-follow steps, and lay out simple plans for meeting any goal, whether it&#8217;s eliminating debt, making good investments, becoming a smart spender or saving up for a big-ticket purchase.<br/><br/><strong>The Smart Cookies&#8217; Guide to Making More Dough</strong> invites every reader to become &#8220;the sixth cookie,&#8221; to take control of their financial lives and have fun doing it.]]>
