There is a new book out by author Susan Hirshman called, “Does This Make My Assets Look Fat?” Interesting title, right? Well, if you haven’t guest, the new book is targeted towards women, as a helpful and simplified financial advice book that breaks down and explains investing through the concept of dieting.
Why an investment book targeted towards woman? According to Hirshman, women are starting to control more and more of the wealth; it is estimated that women are going to control about 60% of wealth. Hirshman feels like too many women aren’t taking a very active role in their wealth but only perhaps because investing can be a very intimidating avenue to venture into blindly. This was motivation enough for Hirshman to write a book geared towards woman in a way that they might more easily relate and understand so that they can have a more active role in their wealth.
The book will even help you to know how to take a good inventory of where you are at financially right now as well; taking everything from credit cards to loans into consideration. Are you feeling like your assets could use a little boost? Well then this book might just be what you are looking for.
