Sonya's Reviews > Secrets of Six-Figure Women: Surprising Strategies to Up Your Earnings and Change Your Life

I really enjoyed this book! Especially when she described the traits of an "underearner." A lot of times, your income doesn't really change until your attitude towards money changes. Once upon a time, I was a compulsive spender... I could have saved but I didn't because I grew up in a household where holding onto money was viewed as somewhat selfish and greedy. My parents spent every nickel and dime to raise 4 girls on less than blue collar salaries. I realized I was doing the same thing. I didn't hold onto money because that was the norm for me growing up.

Now, after adopting more healthy mindset towards wealth and valuing my skills more, I managed to switch from a low-income industry to a really well-compensated industry, leverage my previous work experience, and get a new job that boosted my income by 70%!
