Sub-title: Women, Emotions, and Cash
Liz got divorced suddenly, becoming a single Mom without an income overnight. The shock forced her to re-examine her relationship with money. She realized that she'd been in denial about being financially responsible for herself, hoping to let someone else take care of her and her finances.
She worked in publishing and began interviewing women about the relationship with finances and discovered that many baby boomers had the same expectations and had cobbled their emotional needs together with the financial responsibilities. Over time she was able to separate the two, and let money just be money, finding her fulfillment in family and friends.
I was saddened to learn that the author died of breast cancer at only 59 years old in 2015. It was a good read for the interviews with other women and a flashback 12 years to just prior to the 2008 crash.
