Mrs Moneypenny's Financial Advice for Independent Women

by Mrs. Moneypenny, Heather McGregor

Why do personal finances present such a hurdle for women? And what can we do about it? In her bestselling book Mrs Moneypenny's Careers Advice for Ambitious Women , Mrs Moneypenny stressed the importance of financial literacy and introduced the idea of a "financial finish line"—or how much money you need in your lifetime. But how do you know what "enough" looks like? And how do you get there? In the essential and punchy guide Mrs Moneypenny's Financial Advice For Independent Women , the hilarious and wise Mrs Moneypenny shows you how to set your own financial finish line, and then how to go about reaching it. From increasing your income to cutting your grocery bills, from starting a business to saving a pension, she gives practical, easy ways to think about your money and take control of your life. Whether you're struggling to remember what interest rate you are paying on your mortgage, or are an entrepreneur trying to raise the finance for your business, this book will inspire you, inform you, and above all, empower you.

The first half is quite generic advice on personal finance, but come second half it got better - started to touch on things to consider when expanding beyond single salaried life, say, starting a business, marriage and the likes. Good intro to personal finance that includes actionables filled with useful common finance sense, especially relevant to UK audience.

[Chloë Yuill · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some good advice but there are far too many anecdotes. There are hundreds of suggestions but all quite surface level and no real structure. It has also been written from a perspective of someone who has 'made it' and a lot of the conversation feels very removed and hard to relate. This book quite simply does not feel aligned with where I am at.

I learnt far far more from 'The Meaningful Money Handbook'. Lessons that I have actually put into action and can see the benefits from.

The tips and advice is more relevant towards UK audience.

I personally find the rest of the content generic and dated.
