Reviews
‘Essential Reading.’ Harper’s Bazaar ‘Putting a deep pink picture of a girl buying shoes on the cover of Merryn Somerset Webb’s “Love is Not Enough” only partially disguises the fact that this is a book about money…But since Kate Middleton was seen with a copy, even a picture of Inland Revenue stooge Adam Hart Davis would be unlikely to halt sales. Subtitled “A Smart Woman’s Guide to Making (& Keeping) Money”, Webb’s book covers all the bases, from our shopping compulsion to pensions, investments and pre-nups. She edits the financial magazine Moneyweek, so she knows her stuff; plus, she’s got a child and has negotiated the whole dilemma of working motherhood. Money is scary, but not thinking about it just makes it worse; so take a deep breath, feel the fear and do it anyway.’ Laura Tennant, The First Post

Synopsis
Let’s face it! Prince Charming and his bank balance, just aren’t coming to bail us out financially. ‘Love Is Not Enough’ – the definitive lifestyle, financial bible for sassy women – will teach you not to care, and show you how to face the future with security and know-how. Better than the Spice Girls for Girl Power! Money may not buy you love but it certainly helps with life’s other little luxuries. From shopping sprees to pension plans, ISAs to investments, money plays a crucial role in our present and future comfort. We may not like to admit it, but diamonds – or cold, hard cash – really can be a girl’s best friend. So why, when women have much to celebrate, are we reluctant to talk about it? Why, when we have more wealth in our own names than ever before, do women take less interest in money than men? And why do we still feel that demonstrating an interest in finance is somehow…unfeminine? Because let’s face it – for most of us, Prince Charming and his bank balance just aren’t coming. If we want to secure our futures we’re going to have to do it ourselves. The good news is that it’s not hard to do. Dealing with our personal finances is much, much easier than the financial industry would have us believe. Women tend to make better investors than men too – our instincts, so to speak, are on the money. All we need is a bit of know-how and the confidence to put it into practice. Combining years of financial expertise with a healthy dose of scepticism and an easy sense of humour, Merryn Somerset Webb’s sharp, witty and appealing guide to personal wealth for sassy women provides the answers. Whether you’re drowning in debt, negotiating a higher salary or tackling the thorny issue of a pre-nup, just one read through and you’ll be in a position to sort your finances out for good, transforming them from a constant worry into a source of peace of mind., A sharp, witty and appealing guide to personal finance for women that provides serious as well as useful advice on everything from information on ISA’s, SIPPS and PEP’s to the thorny subject of pension funds. In the UK women earn 18% less than men for working full time and a shocking 40% less for working part time. Less than 20% of women own shares or investment funds while only 7% have a personal pension of their own. Shocking isn’t it? The feminist movement of the last 30 years has made women the equals of men in pretty much every area. However when it comes to money there is clearly a long way to go. The bad news is that to a large degree this is our fault. We have just as many opportunities as men to sort out our pension arrangements, we just don’t do it. And the main reason we get paid less than men is because we never ask to be paid more. We think money is complicated, confusing and even somehow unfeminine. It’s difficult so we don’t take responsibility for it. The good news is that we can change all this with very little effort. Dealing with money is much much simpler than the financial services industry would like us to think it is. Love is Not Enough explains just how simple. One read through and a few hours work and you should be able to sort your finances out for good, something that will turn your finances from a source of endless worry to a source of peace of mind., Let’s face it Prince Charming and his bank balance, just aren’t coming to bail us out financially. ‘Love Is Not Enough’ — the definitive lifestyle, financial bible for sassy women — will teach you not to care, and show you how to face the future with security and know-how.
