THE BLACK WOMAN'S GUIDE TO FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE: Smart Ways to Take Charge of Your Money, Build Wealth, and Achieve Financial Security by Cheryl Broussard is a terrific book written by a financial planner in Northern California. She had travelled around the country lecturing to women's groups and kept hearing, "Why don't you write a book?" She did and it is a big seller.

THE CHEAPSKATE MONTHLY MONEY MAKEOVER by Mary Hunt. Mary Hunt is simply terrific. This is the best book I've seen for honest, understanding, and helpful information about getting rid of debt. I know several people who have climbed out of debt by following this plan.

THE MS. MONEY BOOK by Emily Card was written in 1990 but the writing is simple and straightforward, and the information is practical and very useful. It is out of print now so you'll have to find it in your library or at an out-of-print books' online site. Last time I checked, there were a few copies available at Alibris - Books You Thought You'd Never Find
