With everything she does, Gail Vaz-Oxlade focuses on putting money in perspective and encouraging people to take control of their money and their lives. But over the years, she''s found that an astonishing number of smart, competent women are relinquishing that control. It''s Your Money is designed to inspire and inform them to take charge of their financial destinies.

This book will help each reader come to terms with why she deals with her money as she does. It helps her establish a solid financial foundation on which to build as she moves through her life. Gail walks her through the major milestones-partnering, raising a family and retiring-making sure she is empowered to make her own decisions, if she''s in a relationship or not. It also shows the reader how to cope when stuff hits the fan, without adding financial stress to her burdens. For the woman who finds herself the sole breadwinner in a family, dealing with aging parents or coping with divorce or widowhood, Gail shows her how to keep her financial life on track.

Whether they need Gail''s voice to encourage them to reach for new financial goals, or to kick their credit-card-happy butts back into line, women will turn to It''s Your Money in good times and in bad.
