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

Amazing read for any woman looking to increase her financial knowledge!
This book was packed full of great information while also being wildly entertaining. Before reading this book I did not know that HYSA existed (Yes really!), this book also taught me a lot about investing, negotiating, saving, and more. I now have a HYSA in place as well as a Roth IRA AND I could confidently explain what both of those are to you. This book also provided me a lot of comfort, the statistics showed me I am doing a lot better than I thought I was. Plus just having someone acknowledge that your income is not 100% up to you really made me breathe a sigh of relief, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say “Just work harder” as genuine financial advice. I seriously am so thankful to Tori for writing this and sharing it with us! Long story short every woman I know will be getting this book as a birthday present this year. Thank you Tori!!

Perfect Book for the Current Times – and for the ladiessss
This book is great for people wanting to change their lifestyles around but aren’t sure where to start. The information is presented in a way that works for young people or older people, and people who have some financial savvy or those with none. Since I have started it, it has made me realize a lot about myself and also open up to talking to others about money. I’m retired military from a rural area in the South, and I still work with a lot of military people.I am going to be buying this book for so many others! A lot of us grew up and no one really discussed money or plans or how to handle adult stuff like this. The mindset of the author is so good, and she is active across social media as well. I think where other financial advisors may have missed the mark, this one is perfect for a variety of people. It is focused on females, but if you can open your mind it would work for anyone.

Truly a breakthrough book sparing no punches, Must read for women tired of financial BS
This book has truly changed my life. I’ve read many financial books written by men, but only a handful by women. Growing up in a challenging family dynamic with a single mom, I vividly remember sitting at the kitchen table, watching her struggle to pay bills with money we never seemed to have. That memory has woven itself into every aspect of my life, not just finances.This book helped me understand that pattern and, instead of plowing ahead and repeating mistakes, I can now move forward with awareness. I’ve also shed the guilt around spending money on essentials that simply come with being a woman—tampons, razors, makeup, lotion—all the things men rarely think about. She revealed the cost expectations placed on women, especially in professional settings, in a way that felt like a weight lifted.She is incredible. I’m now working toward financial independence with open eyes and a lighter heart. Thank you.

This is a Absolute MUST NEED book for woman of any age on how to work with their finances.
I will say that I am learning so much from this book. Tori is a millionaire who tells us how she got where she is and how she did it. She really goes into detail about the misconceptions and misinformation drilled into women by the patriarchal society. By sharing the misinfo that is fed to most women from birth, she explains how to educate ourselves to have a healthier financial life. It is called Financial Feminist for a reason and I am so very grateful to her for her long hours of research to bring this book to life.I have read other comments that states that Tori is not qualified to have written a book such as this.I am calling bullshit on that!!I am so very grateful for her book and have learned so much about what I do not know and questions I had no idea to ask.In the past, I have listened to “Financial Gurus” who literally would hit the “shame” button for a person’s ingorance. Seriously!And, what is so much worse about these “gurus” is that these people came to them for education on their finances and left feeling humiliated. (From my perspective)These other “gurus” have given advice that is not practical for actual living. It makes me wonder if those “gurus” actually follow their own advice or have lived at least one year on a income that reflects what they are telling others in that income bracket to do.It really seems that the “gurus” have “ostriched” themselves in their tax bracket and are unable to help those who are not in the same income status.Tori was there and earned her way to where she is and STILL has the ability to connect with those working their way up and out of debt.I am really thrilled to actually have this knowledge to better my life and other women in my surroundings by sharing this book with them.

I wrote a longer review on my blog (secondbrainblog) but here is the tl;dr – Tori Dunlap guides us through emotions around money, building a healthy relationship with finances without shame, and provides actionable steps toward financial freedom—also smashing the patriarchy in the process.

Lo he comprado tanto como a otros sobre el tema de finanzas para poder aprender un poco más. Es para leerlo de vez en cuando, no todo de una vez. Puede resultar un poco pesado
