7 MONEY MANTRAS FOR A RICHER LIFE How to Live Well With the Money You Have

The Baltimore native and financial consultant offers down-home reasoning about reining in your spending and planning for your financial future. The program starts with ideas about extreme penny-pinching. Just as these ideas begin to grate, the audio moves into more interesting matters--credit management, insurance, wills, and trusts. The presentation is about handling money like a grown-up rather than about tax strategies, getting rich, or going into business for yourself. Singletary's point that people spend too much for things they don't need is expressed well as a theme, even if the supporting suggestions are often thin. The advice on borrowing and credit records is especially well done and will help listeners pay more attention to their borrowing and payment behavior. T.W.
