Financial Feminist

Overcome the Patriarchy’s Bullsh*t to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love

De: Tori Dunlap

Narrado por: Tori Dunlap, Samantha Tan, Shayna Small, Jaime Lamchick, Graham Halstead

From the globally-recognized personal finance educator and social media star behind Her First $100K, an inclusive guide to all things money—from managing debt to investing and voting with your dollars

Tori Dunlap was always good with money. As a kid, she watched her prudent parents balance their checkbook every month and learned to save for musical tickets by gathering pennies in an Altoids tin. But she quickly discovered that her experience with money was pretty unusual, especially among her female friends.

It wasn’t our fault. Investigating this financial literacy and wealth gap, Tori found that girls are significantly less likely to receive a holistic financial education; we’re taught to restrain our spending, while boys are taught about investing and rewarded for pursuing wealth. In adulthood, women are hounded by the unfounded stereotype of the frivolous spenders whose lattes are to blame for the wealth gap. And when something like, say, a global pandemic happens, we’re the first to have jobs cut and the last to re-enter the workforce. It's no wonder money is a source of anxiety and a barrier to equality for so many of us.

But what if money didn't mean restriction, and instead, choice? The ability to luxuriously travel, quit toxic jobs, donate to important organizations, retire early? The freedom to live the life you want, and change the world while you do it?

Tori founded Her First $100K to teach women to overcome the unique obstacles standing in the way of their financial freedom. In Financial Feminist, she distills the principles of her shame- and judgment-free approach to paying off debt, figuring out your value categories to spend mindfully, saving money without monk-like deprivation, and investing in order to spend your retirement tanning in Tulum.

Featuring journaling prompts, deep-dives into the invisible aspects of the financial landscape, and interviews with experts on everything money—from predatory credit card companies to the racial wealth gap and voting with your dollars—Financial Feminist is the ultimate guide to making your money work harder for you (rather than the other way around.)

Great tips and real stories

I have read a number of financial books and each one always has something new to add. I really appreciated the stories from different people. It helped to break up the book and really keep my attention. The different perspectives alao help the work in the book more realistic and actionable. I am starting it a second time to make sure I didn't miss anything!

Excellent

This book is well written and modern, with sage advice for everyone. I love that Tori’s advice is sans shame, and feels like that of a friend who wants the best for you.

Loved It!

I think every female should read/listen to this book! Tori did such a great job breaking down the necessary steps to get your financial life together but in a way that is fun and engaging. I loved listening to this on Audible and hearing her read and enjoyed the additional narration from others when guest stories/instances came up. Overall a great listen!

Confidence in investing!

I’ve been a fan of the podcast for years. I enjoy how the book takes what you need and organized it a wonderful, helpful way!

Insightful for finance beginners

Very insightful to the struggles of modern woman, with good approaches to emotional spending and ethical money practices. As a woman, I enjoyed the content, however I found it slightly limited in deep dive financial advice especially when it come to investing. The author does have programs and other business tools for you to use outside the book. Very uplifting and encouraging for the financial any financial journey.

Self Care Done Right

Learning that you need to take care of yourself, financially, while also taking care of yourself, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Must read for all!

Empowering women to invest with clear action steps and easy to follow directions. This is a must read for anyone aspiring for financial independence

Entertaining and educational!!

I picked up this book after listening to Tori’s podcast. She keeps you informed, inspired and enjoying yourself there as well, but I wanted a closer look at her tactics to money management. I can’t thank her enough for writing this book and spelling out her approach to personal finance, it’s changed the way I look at money. Can’t speak more highly about the writing style either, sometimes reading about money can feel shaming or just straight up boring, but that was not the case here! I’d suggest giving it a shot, especially if you consider yourself Progressive/liberal politically-Tori isn’t above acknowledging privilege and systemic oppression or how they factor into personal finance.
