Behind with the Mortgage and Living Off Plastic: Charge Up Your Life, Not Your Credit Card

This sequel to the very successful "Behind with the Laundry and Living off Chocolate," Lynette Allen's newest book addresses the fact that for women the underlying causes of financial problems very often has nothing to do with money and everything to do with being in charge of their lives and emotions. When a woman feels down or troubled, a bit of retail therapy can provide a temporary salve and give a quick lift.Then, like a sugar surge, it's back to reality as the bills pile up. Using Lynette Allen's short tips, women of any age can discover alternative and more constructive ways of getting that high and holding on to it, permanently. Included along with the book is a CD of inspirational tips for women. Although this book does include strategies to help sort out a woman's finances, it is not so much a book about controlling funds as it is a book that shows how to build up an inner bank of emotional resources to remove the need to buy, buy, and buy some more.
