The New York Times called it 'a realistic and readable book', noted the 'inclusion of many women's voices', and the book's criticism of 'financial gurus'.^[3]

Pound Foolish has also been reviewed by CBSN,^[4]Kirkus Reviews,^[5] the Journal of Financial Planning,^[6]Publishers Weekly,^[7]USA Today,^[8]The Denver Post,^[9]Booklist,^[10] and Choice.^[10]

Not surprisingly, its content, both what is included and what is not, provides ample fodder for critical analysis and commentary. .. Consider reading this book for the interesting insights that it provides but be prepared to disagree with some of its content and/or underlying assumptions.
