Praise for Michelle
"One test of a really useful personal finance book is how far you get through it before you have the impulse to put the book down to start acting on its advice. In the case of this volume by Washington Post financial columnist Singletary, it's all you can do to keep reading as she presents tip after tip. Singletary's tone is refreshingly straightforward; she's lively and opinionated but resists preachiness...excellent advice on how to find financial compatibility with husbands and boyfriends and maintain effective communications about finance throughout a relationship."
