How can she afford that? Where the hell is my money going? Will I ever be able to afford a home?
A Real Girl’s Guide to Money: From Converse to Louboutins is the money book for every woman who has that voice in her head.

Financial commentator and Money editor Effie Zahos answers these questions and more in this step-by-step guide to money, sharing practical tips along with her own personal experiences with everything from overspending to surprise pregnancy.

And it couldn’t come at a better time.

“One in three Aussie women retire with no superannuation, leaving them facing poverty,” Zahos says. “As the mother of a teenage daughter, I want to equip women to take control of their finances.”

“In the book I tackle each stage in life, from getting your first job and falling in (and out) of love and starting a family to planning for those golden years.”
