Hunt, Mary, The Financially Confident Woman: What You Need to Know to Take Charge of Your Money. Grand Rapids, MI: Revell Publishing. 1996, 2015.

SUMMARY:
moneyPacked with useful information on becoming seriously money-savvy, popular author Mary Hunt shares how to become financially confident. Including basic plans, self-examination, both good and bad money habits, explanations of money concepts and a glossary of terms, The Financially Confident Woman leaves no doubt that women can manage their own finances correctly and confidently.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Shopping in high heels? Mary Hunt swears it will save you money as you struggle to balance your sore feet in those shoes rather than spend money on unnecessary items. Brilliant! Once drowning in debt herself, the author shares personal stories and strategies on getting out-from-under the debt issue while also learning new methods to stay on top of it. This revised and updated book (I never read the initial publication), offers advise, encouragement and assurance in the funds department. I found the explanations of investments as well as the glossary particularly helpful in navigating today’s market. Oh, and of course the hilarious yet oh-so-helpful ideas on saving! Empowering!

Hunt, Mary. Debt-Proof Living. Grand Rapids, MI: Revell Publishing. 2014.

SUMMARY:
maryhuntWith personal experience, Mary Hunt explains, encourages and navigates how to get out of debt and continue to live without it. Everyone has payments these days (credit cards, loans, bills, etc) but not everyone knows how to manage them nor do without them each month. Mary Hunt, founder of Debt-Proof Living, shares how to get out of debt, why to get out of debt and how to stay out of debt…

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Through definitions of the different types of debt, help tackling the reasons and habits of debt, explanations of the consequences associated with debt, and the enjoyment of being financially debt-free, Mary Hunt shares items which make logical sense yet are sometimes so hard to achieve. I truly appreciated the fact that the author has been there, drowning in debt but was able to come clean and make a new financial start for herself. Through tried and true practices, sensible and solid applications, and encouraging and empathetic thoughts, reading this book was like having my own personal financial adviser.
