Bestselling author (2005’s The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke, etc.) and host of her own CNBC show, Orman encourages women to “give to yourself as much as you give of yourself” in her ninth financial advice book, sure to resonate with legions of readers who will appreciate her straightforward advice and supportive tone. Aiming squarely for a female audience, Orman guides readers through the very basics of finances. She explores why women have dysfunctional relationships with money and notes the ways they undervalue themselves or “treat themselves as a commodity whose price is set by others,” while also sharing the story of her own evolving relationship with her finances. Though her explanation of the “8 qualities of a wealthy woman” (harmony, balance, courage, etc.) is more inspirational than practical, she also presents a concrete five-month “save yourself plan” for financial repair, starting with setting aside checking and savings accounts, fixing one’s credit rating, saving for retirement, setting up a will and purchasing home insurance. This encouraging guide will not intimidate women who are foundering financially.

A family coping with the serious illness of one of its members can be emotionally devastated. Not the least of their concerns is the crippling financial burden that accompanies a long-term health problem. Attorney Bove shows how to plan for the economic side of catastrophic illness. Bove walks us through the Medicaid morass, packing a small book with facts, definitions, and case studies that illustrate how to protect family assets when a loved one is entering a nursing home. He explains the laws governing Medicaid and Medicare and distinguishes revocable and irrevocable trusts as well as the role they play in preserving financial stability. He also discusses long-term care insurance, durable powers of attorney, and arranging for the guardianship of incompetent persons. Bove’s book lacks the sample forms and model trusts included in Armond D. Budish’s Avoiding the Medicaid Trap ( LJ 7/89), but is nonetheless a concise presentation of valuable information. Highly recommended for public libraries.
