Product Description
Do you need to get back in control of your cash?
Do you want to understand your money emotions?
Are you happy to talk about sex, make-up and shoes, but shy about your financial feelings?
With more and more women stepping up to take charge of their financial destiny, SHECONOMICS will help you master your money and understand the complex feelings that can stand in your way.
Whether you want tips on taking emotional control of your finances, choosing monetary goals and planning how to achieve them, paying off loans, sorting out pensions, investing, spending or simply living within your means, this is the book for you.
Karen and Simonne have devised seven simple yet effective laws of 'sheconomics' to help you change your attitude to personal finance, get your money madness under control and secure a financial future that doesn't depend on Prince Charming or a lottery ticket.
With real-life stories, case-studies and experiences gathered from years of working in the world of money, SHECONOMICS is a no-nonsense-easy-to-follow financial guide, written for women by women.

Format:Paperback
Great read - I'm using it as my New Year bible, and the `do something different' approach is a brilliant idea. Much of what I've read so far resonates with me, and it's pitched at just the right level - it's fun, but also really sensible and realistic. It's making me think about things from a different perspective - like what's actually going on in my head when I spend, or when I make excuses not to save. I feel like this approach is going to be the thing that finally helps me change the way I am with money. The case studies are good too - they give me confidence that the strategies recommended by the book really work. And it helps to know I'm not the only one who is a bit rubbish on the finances front!

Sheconomics is a great book!
Initially I baulked at the idea of a book about finance written for women, having visions of being patronised but I need not have worried. I know men and women view life differently so why not money too! It's co written by Professor Karen Pine and Simone Gnesson, and published by Headline.
Take Control
If you ever feel your spending is not totally within your control this book will help you. If you get a huge pleasure from buying things you don't need, followed by a huge rush of guilt when the bills come in, this book is for you. And if you'd just like to take a fresh look at how you manage your money, this book is for you!
Laws of Sheconomics
The authors highlight several laws of Sheconmics. Each `law' is a chapter heading complete with examples, and exercises, and very practical advice. The `laws' are:
Take Emotional Control
Go Beyond Beliefs
Spend with Power
Have Goals
Look Debt in the Face
Share Financial Intimacies
Know Tomorrow Comes
Positive Thinking About Money
Pine and Gnesson do not advise that simply thinking about earning loads of money will make you attract it (if they did I wouldn't be reviewing them here!); however, they do encourage you to look at what your thinking is about money, and to acknowledge that you may be holding onto some very self limiting negative beliefs about money
Here's an example from the book:
Having talked about the limiting beliefs we can hold, the authors encourage their readers to adopt some positive ones. This is their Ten Top Positive Sheconomic Beliefs
Money matters as much as health or relationships in my life
I deserve to have the financial security and lifestyle I want
There's enough money to go round
I create the results in my life
I'm grateful for the money that flows into my life
I can increase my knowledge about money and finance
I'm a money magnet
It's easier to make money than to spend it
I can be well off and a good person at the same time
Now these may not be your ideal top ten, which the author's acknowledge, but reading this chapter will help you to think about the attitudes you do hold, and if changing them would be helpful to you.
Breaking a Taboo
In the UK we are generally very diffident when talking about money. In fact, we rarely do. It's refreshing to pick up a well written book that tackles this topic head on, written with a female audience in mind, and that leaves you feeling more in control! I thoroughly recommend this book.

Format:Paperback
I loved this book. It is well written and easy to read. Obviously aimed at the female reader but I'm sure there are a few men who could use some tips from this too. I have already put many of the suggestions into practice, and it has really opened my eyes to the merits of paying off the mortgage and living as debt-free as possible. I only wish I could have read this book years ago as I might have been rich by now! A brilliant gift for a student, and should be given to every young female with their first pay cheque! The accompanying website is also worth a look. Money very well-spent as it will save me a fortune in the long-run. I feel my finances are already more organised than ever before, and they can only get better now that I know not to bury my head in the sand over debt and monthly budgeting.
