Confessions of a financial phobic...

I think Lucy Benyon was very brave in owning up to a whole host of financial phobias in Monday's Daily Express article.

'Talking about money makes me want to put my fingers in my ears and scream' she confessed, 'I haven't got a clue about money'. 

We know she's not alone. Loads of you have said you feel the same. And with recession-talk going on all around us, there's never been a more urgent need to get a grip.

Luckily Simonne was on hand to give Lucy a money makeover as well as Sheconomics, which Lucy describes as ' a chatty jargon-free book that aims to demystify the world of finance'.
