   She rushes to the mailbox to intercept the credit card statement and make sure that the incriminating information remains confidential. He receives a nice bonus check but blows it all at a bar after work. Lying to a partner about money is all too common. Bonnie Eaker Weil, Ph.D., uses her 30 years of therapeutic experience to present a compelling study of financial deception and its impact on relationships. Attitudes toward money – even spending habits – are shaped during childhood. The trick is understanding them. Weil says adults who lack insight about their attitudes tend to perpetuate destructive behaviors that can harm their relationships. getAbstract believes that almost anyone can benefit from Weil’s advice. She’s right on the money.

   A lot of information is repeated throughout this book and so far it really doesn’t get to the root of things. It seems more based on actual infidelity than financial, which is not my problem. I was hoping it would be more into money managing and dealing with those issues but it just isn’t. What is about money is how to tell your partner your problem (which mine already knows), how to deal with the aftermath (which we aren’t at, we are trying to avoid something that has an aftermath!) and how your money issues mirror those you’re related to, something that I find pretty obvious. There are some helpful ideas and quizzes, but really not as much as I expected. I think I’d only recommend this to those who have had an affair or feel tempted to, as it has a lot of information on dealing with those issues and how they connect to money issues.

   This book is amazing! I especially loved the section about the eight stages of love! I have used it with clients and they love it also. It is very helpful in terms of issues with relationships and money!
