The good news, says personal finance expert Jean Chatzky, is that "there is very little about money that can't be explained in terms of sixth-grade math and plain English." Here Jean uses her personal experience and professional knowledge to explain everything from credit to equity, bond funds to college savings plans.

Ask successful women what they want from their money and they'll tell you: independence, security, choices, a better world, and - oh yes - way less stress, not just for themselves but for their kids, partners, parents, and friends. Through a series of Happy Hour discussions (when money is the topic, wine helps) and one-on-one conversations, Jean Chatzky gets women to open up about the one topic we still never talk about. Then she flips the script and charts a pathway to this joyful, purpose-filled life that today's women not only want but also, finally, have the resources to afford.
