From the outside, you have it all: the advanced degree and fulfilling career, the loving family and nice home. But inside, it's a different story. Student loans and credit card debt still follow you around, and living paycheck to paycheck feels like you've missed an important memo only your financially free counterparts received. You're relying on the next promotion and big raise to feel better about your finances, but what if making more money isn't the solution you need? What if you could have all the money you want with a few simple adjustments? Changing your financial status-like many things in life-is mind over matter: The way you think about money impacts the amount of money you have. In Defining Wealth for Women, Bonnie Koo, MD, shows you why everything you've ever learned about money is probably wrong. She reveals the common misconceptions and limiting beliefs that many professional women have when it comes to money, helping you see what's possible when you break through the self-imposed ceiling. Even if you've never struggled with finances, this book helps you take your financial status to the next level and make your money work for you.

There is nothing as powerful as a "girl" with a mind for money-making coupled with a purpose beyond the money. You will learn that you don't have to be male, rich, old, or white, to be wealthy.

History has taught us that when women move together the nation often follows. WOMEN, WEALTH and WISDOM; Unleash The Fire Within To A Life Of Purpose opens a door to financial freedom like suffrage opened the door to new political powers. In the post birth control rights era, personal finance is now the final feminine frontier. So why are women today failing at personal finances? Why are today's women more and more at risk of slipping into a financial abyss than men? How can this be prevented? What does this mean for you and your spouse today?

Steve Wightman explains important decisions that divide those unable to find fulfilling lives rich in prosperity, love, and purpose from those who do. Peppered with personal anecdotes, the book reveals sixteen smartest things women do in a lifetime. He understands women today are often confused and uncertain about their financial security. He addresses this concern with clarity and purpose by stating vital steps women need to take today. Financial planning, he argues, is far more important than planning a wedding or a family reunion because these events are just drops in a bucket contrasted against an entire life. It's about life transitioning and survival today. Financial planning is life planning. It's about what you are and what you want your life to say about you now and tomorrow! After more than seventeen years of practice as a fee-only certified financial planner® serving families including women in transition to single life, Wightman looks at what men know and women often don't and how these distinctions create a wealth divide. One woman in severe financial distress taught him a vital lesson. She telephoned him and said: “I have a loaded gun pointed at my head and I'm just calling to say goodbye.” Like someone who's survived a lightning strike, Wightman felt compelled to write this book because he clearly understands that financial well-being is linked to physical and mental health. Moreover, this connection to mind and wallet is also linked to the health of our society and our nation's economy. It means the difference between being a government revenue supporter or a dependent.
