Summary of Deborah Owens's A Purse of Your Own

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When you are feeling powerless and out of control, consider what Lee was carrying in her purse. She was a stay-at-home mom from New Jersey, and she had worked as a graphic artist for ten years, but then had a son with special needs. She was unable to work outside her home, which cost her and her husband big-time. #2 The purse solution is a way to get out of your financial hole. It allows you to look up, but also outward, toward a better life. #3 If you’re not already organized, you must get organized to be able to manage your finances. This may involve making room for your financial documents in the drawers of a file cabinet or purchasing a cardboard filing box. #4 After you’ve organized your documents, write Assets at the top of another sheet of paper, and Liabilities on the other side. Under Liabilities, list your debts, and under Assets, list what you own, along with the estimated market value of these items.
