Protect Your Purse: Shared Lessons for Women: Avoid Financial Messes, Stop Emotional Bankruptcies and Take Charge of Your Money (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995821804)

What if your entire life changed overnight? Could you support yourself? Would you be protected financially?

In Protect Your Purse, Doris Belland shares the hard lessons she learned when she experienced loss and extreme debt. Supported by interviews of more than three dozen women, none of whom foresaw the difficult life events they encountered, she connects the common issue of women not being in true control of their financial health because they did not make key decisions nor plan for "what if."

Protect Your Purse it not your typical personal finance book. It goes beyond a list of "to-dos" to highlight larger issues for women and provide insights around:

• Getting your head in the right space as your first step to financial control,
• How to approach money challenges both before and after unexpected change,
• Money being a tool to learn, not an emotion to manage, and
• How money creates options, not security.

It's time to rethink how secure you are and take control of your own financial future. Belland will show you how to move through your fears, make a proactive plan, and build the confidence to create your life on your terms, regardless of what comes your way, secure in the knowledge that you are not alone.
