Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
It's Your Money
Karen McCall · 2000
70/100
👍 Worth It
McCall's workbook approach — pairing reflective exercises with practical budgeting tools — fills a real gap that pure-mechanics finance books leave open, and her grounding in financial counseling gives the behavioral dimension genuine credibility. The 2000 publication date shows in some examples and resources, and modern readers may want a more contemporary companion. But the core insight that money habits are psychological first still holds up.
