A Mom's Guide to Family Finances
Ellie Kay highlights seven essentials to any family's
financial plan: an emergency fund, life insurance, a will, a
retirement account, a good credit rating, a college fund (if
there are children) and an Internet connection. (This, she
says, gives families access to the very best mortgage and
insurance rates, among other things.)
After presenting various personality types (e.g., "Tightwad
Tilly" and "Secure Samantha") and discussing some of the
emotional baggage of money, she provides nuts-and-bolts
information to help readers get out of debt, tithe 10
percent to charity and achieve their financial goals.
