Customer Reviews


Fun to read, easy to understand, so glad I read this book!
The transition years from college to the real world can be nerve wracking. How do I establish credit? How do I pay off my school loans, while still being able to afford an apt, work clothes, and the occasional happy hour? What's the right amount to save, and the best way to do it? Reading this book feels like sitting down with someone who's been there, lived to tell about it, and is now letting you in on all her secrets. Not only does Lisa answer common questions, and lay things out clearly, she does it in a way that in no way feels like a "financial lecture." I recommend this to any girl who feels a little lost when it comes to money decisions. I'll definitely tell all my girlfriends to read it.


Great Book For Girls of all Ages!
This book is so witty and easy to read that you forget it is a finance book. I just ordered one for my 20 year old niece who loves to shop but is not that fiscally minded. This is a perfect gift for any teenage or twenty something girl!


This book is perfect for recessionistas!
Lisa Serwin does an amazing job blending two worlds - finance and fashion - into a fun, fabulous, yet practical book! Her style is incredibly entertaining and this book is such an easy read. There are so many great takeaways for women who are trying to get their finance world in order. I highly recommend "So Many Shoes, So Little Money"!


"So Many Shoes, So Little Money" by Lisa Serwin
Personally, I'm a little tired of being shouted at by Suze Orman, so I found this entertaining and accessible book--filled with specific information on how to organize and maintain your finances--to be a very welcome relief. Until high schools start teaching students how to manage their money, this book should be required reading.
