Geoffrey Wade is an inviting narrator--warm and understanding but firm and quick enough for the serious audio student. The author, a veteran money advisor and media host, covers the usual array of financial topics, but he tailors his recommendations to each of six money management personalities. Strivers, Ostriches, Debt Desperadoes, Coasters, High Rollers, and Squirrels each have patterns of dealing with money that are influenced by emotional style and family experiences. With vivid analysis and examples, he shows how to keep one's emotional style from causing destructive or inadequate money management patterns. One of the broadest, most psychologically savvy audio programs on money, this is a welcome change from the one-size-fits-all approach most financial writers offer. onsult Goodman for radical money sense. A former long-tenured Money magazine reporter, he tackles the money issue endemic to Americans according to six psychological types--Strivers, Ostriches, Debt Desperadoes, Coasters, High Rollers, and Squirrels. Each profile is based on the emotional effects of money, whether that involves indifference, its use as a measure of success, or high tolerance of risk. So these psychological examinations feature strengths as well as weaknesses, initial attitudes and suggested changes, individual/couple financial snapshots and anecdotes in narrative and in sidebars, quizzes, and summaries of actions to take. Names are unusually descriptive; Debt Desperadoes are measured by the number of maxed-out credit cards, whereas Squirrels are averse to any spending no matter the reason.
