Personal Finance

In NICE GIRLS DON'T GET RICH, Dr. Frankel offers women financial and investment advice for succeeding in life. Although women may not know it, certain behaviors and habits that they learned when they were girls are now preventing them from attaining financial fulfillment, such as: depending on men for financial advice and/or support, mistaking negotiation for confrontation, fear of math and numbers, spending indiscriminately, playing it safe and operating on financial autopilot. But unlike the many books written by financial professionals, this book isn't just about financial planning --it's about financial thinking. As a psychologist and successful business woman, Frankel examines the myths and messages women learn over time that prevent them from reaping the same financial rewards as men. Based on hundreds of interviews with ordinary women and financial experts, NICE GIRLS DON'T GET RICH points out the most common financial mistakes women make and recommends actions to achieve a life free from financial angst
