Author Carrie Rocha book is small but insightful and educational. She focuses on changing your attitude toward money to make a lsting change. The one thing I like about this book is how she opens up with her own personal struggles with finances,m oney and debt. She also gives saving tips and budgeting advice. It really is true that you need to change the way you think about money to make a lasting change. There are bigger books with much more detail but this will appeal to many people. A good read for everyone no matter your level of monetary skills.… (meer)
