Nice Girls Don't Get Rich

Critical Praise

"Lots of Frankel's common sense advice is worthwhile. Take care of yourself, she's saying, cause no one else will. But she's also telling us that to succeed financially in a man's world we've got to be more like men: learn aggressive tactics, avoid female ghettos, work the system the way the boys do. If your values run more toward developing a kinder, gentler nation where "women's" work actually earns money commensurate with its social value, then this is one self-help book you can skip. Or maybe you need it more than you know."

"Nice Girls Don't Get Rich is really not a truthful title, because once you read this educational and enlightening book, you realize that nice girls can get rich, but only if they have all their ducks lined in a row. Consider this book a guide to getting those ducks in order, in shape, and in line."

"If you've ever picked up a book on finances only to have your optimism slowly drain away when you feel like you should have ten grand stuffed away just to begin investing, this book is for you."

"...Frankel believes that growing plants from seeds takes a great deal of patience, and patience is the mind-set required for investing money and prospering. That's the kind of advice you'll encounter in her book with the cheerful, preppy pink-and-lime green cover."

"Don't be a doormat," advises Lois P. Frankel, corporate coach and author of Nice Girls Don't Get Rich: 75 Avoidable Mistakes Women Make With Money. "Providing outstanding service and standing up for yourself are not mutually exclusive. Be willing to walk away from a deal with someone who doesn't treat you fairly, or to refuse service to someone who has taken advantage of you in the past."

"Finally, a fresh look at how women think about money. And it's about time. Lois deals with the real reasons women have so much difficulty with their finances. I wish it had been available to read before I made so many of the mistakes she discusses."
-Barbara Stanny, author of Prince Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money and Secrets of Six-Figure Women

"Are you managing your finances, or are they running away with you? Getting rich-that is, reaching that blessed state where you don't have to worry about having enough money-is a matter of learning to take charge of your own spending and investing, and in NICE GIRLS DON'T GET RICH Lois Frankel tells how in vivid, no-nonsense terms. I love this book. If I had daughters, I would make sure they read every word. As it is, I'm recommending it to all my friends-and not only female friends, either."
