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.)

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.

The wake up call about how, as a woman, I haven’t been handling my finances as well as I thought I was.

Loved the book in its entirety. Step by step tips is what I need to actually implement strategies in my own life and this book listed everything out as I needed.

Great information

A story well worth listening to. Great information and a great plan to get started investing.

Absolutely love!

I love how relatable Tori is and the issues she brings to light! ❤️ definitely a must read.

Outstanding

I listened to the book and then I bought the hard copy for study. Outstanding!

I wish I had this book 10 years ago

I have been following Tori for some time and couldn’t wait to read her book. A lot of her advice can be found for free on her podcast, however this book gives a much deeper dive into topics. As someone who grew up with a lot of shame around her spending and believed she was bad at money, I never learned much besides I should be saving more. Now I’m growing my net worth thanks to Tori. She does come from a background of no money problems, so I appreciate her bringing in other guests with different experiences. As someone one with debt, I really need to hear the stories of other people who conquered debt using these techniques. I believe anyone can benefit from this, but especially people who identify as women.

Almost Everyone Should Liste to This Book

First off, a feminist is simply someone who believes that all genders deserve equal rights, including equal pay. Based on the definition, so many people would benefit from the gems in this book. It’s also just refreshing to get financial advice from not just another “finance bro”. I will definitely be listening again at some point, and am now enjoying her podcast as well.

Well deserved #4 in NYT best seller’s list!

This book will change so many lives.

Financial Feminist demystifies personal finance and makes it accessible to the every day person. The sound and clear advice in this book will change so many lives for the better.

Great book

This was very informative and instructional. I have implemented some of the things I have learned.

Great practical financial advice!

Love her and think she will help a lot of us control our finances better as well as change the world!
