Rich Girl Nation

Taking Charge of Our Financial Futures

De: Katie Gatti Tassin

Narrado por: Katie Gatti Tassin

From the founder of Money with Katie, a leveled-up finance guide for ambitious women everywhere—and a rallying cry for a new money movement

Women experience money differently than men do. In the United States, women have only 55 cents for every dollar of wealth held by men, are more likely to end up in poverty following a divorce, and are less likely to retire with the resources they need. What can women do to build wealth and claim financial power in a system that wasn’t designed for them?

Katie Gatti Tassin, personal finance writer and host of the popular podcast The Money with Katie Show, has built an energized following of smart, ambitious women seeking a deeper understanding of the financial issues that affect them. In Rich Girl Nation, Tassin deconstructs the unique challenges women face on their journey to financial freedom, offering context and nuanced guidance on money matters including:

• Performing a budgetary “Hot Girl Detox”
• Proven salary negotiation strategies that effectively navigate gender bias
• Investing frameworks that make you the leader of your financial life
• How (and why) to create a prenup
• Preparing and saving for childcare efficiently
• Retiring independently (and in a tax-optimized way)

Packed with scrupulous research and Tassin’s trademark wit, Rich Girl Nation uncovers the real story behind our financial system and shows us exactly how to thrive within it while we fight for broader change. It’s time for women to unite in unapologetic financial autonomy with the net worths to show for it—and to change the playing field not just for ourselves but for the next generation of Rich Girls, too.

Substantive and nuanced

Well-written book from a woman whose content I have come to love and appreciate. Thank you Katie! I am going to buy the paper book as well as it got a little hard to follow the more numbers-heavy sections via audio!

Excellent practical knowledge!

Katie’s delivery is excellent and her organized approach plus her humor made the book enjoyable and worthwhile!

Top advice for women - must read!

Consolidates all MWK podcasts into the best top summary notes. Katie’s examples are applicable for today’s experiences.

Finance with Heart, Humor, and a Game Plan

Katie doesn’t just cover the personal finance topics I need—she delivers them in a way that’s actionable, realistic, and refreshingly relatable. Finance can often feel dry, but Katie brings it to life with millennial pop culture references and endearing stories from her own experience. I loved the hardcover so much I doubled down with the Audible version, knowing she’d be narrating it herself. As a longtime podcast listener and proud card-carrying member of Rich Girl Nation—this felt like the perfect companion. Highly recommend!

Delivers the goods, HIGHLY Recommend!

I couldn't wait for this book to come out and I was not disappointed. I am a long time listener of the Money With Katie Podcast and this book crushed it. Katie's reading of the book is amazing! She brings the complexity of finance to life in a smooth and easy manner. The funniest part of the book for me was the "whomp, whomp" quote. I couldn't stop laughing, as my 12 yo son says that all the time.

There is so much packed in the listen, I had to listen to it twice and will probably go back a third time for all the bookmarks I left. I found myself wishing for this book 25 years ago to save me from bad decisions as I was listening. I will be giving it to my daughter in a couple of years and as gifts to all of her friends. Cannot wait for the next book!

Bruh

In my honest opinion without offending anybody I personally thought that this book was good.

Retirement tax advantages

I love the money talk. Every women should read this book for better understanding of our finances.

Good book

It’s one of the better financial books geared towards women. I would buy it for a friend.

Best Finance Book

Katie makes financial learning interesting. I like how there is no judgement and she is genuine in her take. She blends history with where we are now as women in US society, making you think about how far we have come. Excellent book for beginners in investing and making your money earn money—give it a listen!

Great read, balances nicely with her podcast

I've been listening to Katie's podcast for about a year now and this book is similar to her weekly topics in her podcast. I appreciate the honesty, transparency, and recounting of anecdotal experiences throughout her financial journey. She is incredibly articulate and has an amazing vocabulary. I also appreciate all the time she spent discussing a woman's unpaid labor. As a former high earner in Seattle who scaled back from work to focus on motherhood and household management, Katie was spot on about the effects on my future income and access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. Even though Katie doesn't have kids (yet), this book was very relatable for a 38-year-old mother in Seattle.
