Mary HuntThe Financially Confident Women: A Guide to Debt-Proof Living Where is it written that women don't do money? Stop for a minute and think about how smart, clever, capable and responsible you are in so many other areas of your life. Whether you single-handedly run a successful household or business-or both-there is absolutely no reason you cannot add competent money manager and financial planner to your list of abilities and skills. Mary Hunt was just like you-a busy, successful entrepreneur, wife and mother-but she found herself unemployed and more than $100,000 in debt. On the brink of total financial ruin, she had to give up credit cards and get her financial act together. But how? Fast forward 15 years, all that debt paid off and behind her, Mary shares with you her journey and how to learn from her mistakes. Mary explains that "being in debt is NOT a money problem, it's an attitude problem. Realizing that is a woman's first step to financial independence." "It's the money you don't spend that ultimately gives you the freedom to live the life you love!" |
