This book was a fascinating book that was well written and filled with good information that I found easy to apply to my own life。 Specifically， Tori discusses the emotions of money and the impact that has at the beginning of the book， which was very enlightening and let me follow the rest of the book to understand my own emotions around money。 I also really enjoyed the chapters on negotiating and budgeting - and the asides/comments from individuals throughout the book supplemented the material This book was a fascinating book that was well written and filled with good information that I found easy to apply to my own life。 Specifically， Tori discusses the emotions of money and the impact that has at the beginning of the book， which was very enlightening and let me follow the rest of the book to understand my own emotions around money。 I also really enjoyed the chapters on negotiating and budgeting - and the asides/comments from individuals throughout the book supplemented the material in a way that definitely made it much more impactful。 A great read and well worth anyone’s time。 。。。more

The value of this book is in it’s journal reflections and activities at the end of each chapter。 It is a book that you will return to time and again rather than read once and be done。 It’s a journey rather than the final destination。 It’s focus is on kindness and compassion for your past and current selves while laying the groundwork for your future fabulous self。

Tori provides a fresh take on how money disparity impacts our lives， but also how women and minority groups can overcome this。 We are taught to not discuss money and then wonder why we aren't the best at handling our finances。 Tori pulls back the blinders of society and explains it all。 She breaks down savings， even if you're in survival mode， and so much more！ I cannot recommend the book and podcast any more than I already do！ They are wonderful and spectacular！ Tori provides a fresh take on how money disparity impacts our lives， but also how women and minority groups can overcome this。 We are taught to not discuss money and then wonder why we aren't the best at handling our finances。 Tori pulls back the blinders of society and explains it all。 She breaks down savings， even if you're in survival mode， and so much more！ I cannot recommend the book and podcast any more than I already do！ They are wonderful and spectacular！ 。。。more

I have been following Tori Dunlap and Her First 100K for years and I love everything she works for。 She has helped me a lot on my financial journey over time and I only wish I had found her sooner。 I love the structure of this book - the chapters are laid out in such a way that helps you make the steps in the best order to really become that Financial Feminist。 The journaling/"homework" at the end of each chapter really makes you open your eyes and think。 All in all， this is a great book and is I have been following Tori Dunlap and Her First 100K for years and I love everything she works for。 She has helped me a lot on my financial journey over time and I only wish I had found her sooner。 I love the structure of this book - the chapters are laid out in such a way that helps you make the steps in the best order to really become that Financial Feminist。 The journaling/"homework" at the end of each chapter really makes you open your eyes and think。 All in all， this is a great book and is what everyone should be reading。 Money can be such a taboo topic but it's important that you can talk about it and get the information you need without judgement！Thank you NetGalley and Dey Street Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

About halfway through this book I realized that all of the information so far is a） available in easily digestible short- form on the author’s Instagram listicles， and b） even though I thought I could get through it to learn some financial stuff， the Social Justice Lite（TM） has overstayed its welcome and isn’t worth slogging through to get to morsels of information I could just google。 Absolutely nothing groundbreaking or that I haven’t heard before yet。 Shrug。Will update rating/review if I ever About halfway through this book I realized that all of the information so far is a） available in easily digestible short- form on the author’s Instagram listicles， and b） even though I thought I could get through it to learn some financial stuff， the Social Justice Lite（TM） has overstayed its welcome and isn’t worth slogging through to get to morsels of information I could just google。 Absolutely nothing groundbreaking or that I haven’t heard before yet。 Shrug。Will update rating/review if I ever finish it but at this point it might be a DNF。 。。。more

I wish my 18 year old self had this book--- and every one of my friends when they were that age too。 This is the financial wisdom that I wished they taught in high school。 Everyone should know this stuff， but we don't！ Tori's writing is not only incredibly insightful （I binged this book on my flight home for Christmas and felt like my pocketbook was taking its vitamins）， it is also deeply compassionate and entertaining。 Tori doesn't write/talk down to us-- she understands and effectively communi I wish my 18 year old self had this book--- and every one of my friends when they were that age too。 This is the financial wisdom that I wished they taught in high school。 Everyone should know this stuff， but we don't！ Tori's writing is not only incredibly insightful （I binged this book on my flight home for Christmas and felt like my pocketbook was taking its vitamins）， it is also deeply compassionate and entertaining。 Tori doesn't write/talk down to us-- she understands and effectively communicates that what she has learned and is teaching is not what we are typically taught in schools or in our families。 One of the most helpful parts was when she broke down the different types of investments-- typically thinking about investing makes me want to peel off my skin， cry， and yell at someone at the same time， but Financial Feminist broke it down in such an easy and understandable way。 I will soon be breaking up with my financial advisor and taking my money out of mutual funds and putting them into ETFs and index funds。 I am excited to share this book with all my friends--- this is the learning we've always needed。 I'm deeply grateful。 。。。more

I’ve been waiting for this book ever since Tori announced it was coming。 I’ve been following Tori for a long time， and I love her ability to take information that seems out of reach and simplify it to make it accessible for everyone。 Her book truly has something for everyone， whether you want to start investing， learn to save better， curb emotional spending， or travel the globe without breaking the bank。 I can’t help but smile at her jokes and references as she delivers information to help you c I’ve been waiting for this book ever since Tori announced it was coming。 I’ve been following Tori for a long time， and I love her ability to take information that seems out of reach and simplify it to make it accessible for everyone。 Her book truly has something for everyone， whether you want to start investing， learn to save better， curb emotional spending， or travel the globe without breaking the bank。 I can’t help but smile at her jokes and references as she delivers information to help you change your life for the better！ 。。。more

An empowering， practical guide that is a great mix of psychology and how-to tips。 I do recommend having a written copy instead of or in addition to the audio version so you can highlight， refer back， etc。 This is the perfect last minute gift for you or someone in your life just in time for New Year’s resolutions。 Thanks to Libro。fm and HarperCollins for this complimentary audiobook。 My thoughts are my own。

READ THIS BOOK。 I've been a fan of HerFirst100k and the Financial Feminist podcast for awhile。 This book is like an extended cut of those。 Since following Tori's journey and advice I've been able to save more money and feel less guilty about spending money on things that bring me joy。 This book is like a frank and fun talk with your financial fairy godmother。 Complete with swear words and truth bombs。 Most of the pages have highlight worthy passages and advice。 This isn't a boring finance book。 READ THIS BOOK。 I've been a fan of HerFirst100k and the Financial Feminist podcast for awhile。 This book is like an extended cut of those。 Since following Tori's journey and advice I've been able to save more money and feel less guilty about spending money on things that bring me joy。 This book is like a frank and fun talk with your financial fairy godmother。 Complete with swear words and truth bombs。 Most of the pages have highlight worthy passages and advice。 This isn't a boring finance book。 At all。 If you're already a fan and are worried this book is just advice recycled from the podcast and her paid courses， I can tell you it is， but it isn't。 The subject matter is similar for some things， as is the advice， but it's more detailed and actionable。 I especially love the journaling prompts。 I've already ordered two extra copies for friends and plan on keeping a hardcopy on hand to loan out to friends and family。 This book is just what I needed and it's everything I've found lacking from other financial guidance resources。 。。。more

I was able to get my hands on an arc and lemme tell you I’m so glad I read this！ It’s super informative， simple to understand and put into reality， and entertaining on top of all that。 Each chapter had short “homework” that was an easy way to put what you just learned into thought and practice in your own life。 I will definitely be recommending this， especially to other young women in my life。

I've followed Tori Dunlap （@herfirst100k） on TikTok for a while and jumped at the chance to read her debut book - and， let me tell you， it did NOT disappoint！ Financial Feminist is a phenomenal， non-judgmental look into the patriarchal foundations and how women can approach finances to set themselves up for success。 I wish I had this book earlier in my life， and am glad I found it now。 Highly recommended。Thank you to Dey Street Books for the advanced copy of this book。 I've followed Tori Dunlap （@herfirst100k） on TikTok for a while and jumped at the chance to read her debut book - and， let me tell you， it did NOT disappoint！ Financial Feminist is a phenomenal， non-judgmental look into the patriarchal foundations and how women can approach finances to set themselves up for success。 I wish I had this book earlier in my life， and am glad I found it now。 Highly recommended。Thank you to Dey Street Books for the advanced copy of this book。 。。。more

This is financial guidance from a bestie who wants what’s best for you。 No shaming， blaming， or deprivation。 We can’t fix society’s inequities but we can set ourselves up for success in a realistic way。 This book is a must-read for women wanting to feel more abundant and financially wise and stable。 Loved it！

Full disclosure I was provided an advance digital copy of the book， but my review and thoughts are my own having just finished my first read-through。 I have watched， read， and listened to my fair share of financial advice/help books/tv shows/podcasts， and this book is quite refreshing and takes on more than just the bottom line of making more and spending less。 That is the quintessential cookie-cutter advice from the likes of some well-known financial gurus。 When I say refreshing。。。here is what Full disclosure I was provided an advance digital copy of the book， but my review and thoughts are my own having just finished my first read-through。 I have watched， read， and listened to my fair share of financial advice/help books/tv shows/podcasts， and this book is quite refreshing and takes on more than just the bottom line of making more and spending less。 That is the quintessential cookie-cutter advice from the likes of some well-known financial gurus。 When I say refreshing。。。here is what I mean。。。the book is written as if you were having a conversation with a ride-or-die friend that understands there is more to you than your not having a plan for retirement and long-term saving。 Tori talk to us from where ever we stand in life and she confronts the societal pressures that we feel to get everything right financially。 She doesn't just tell you to do this or that， but rather she makes you question what you really want out of the money you earn。 It is an easy read with tons of lessons not just from Tori， but from others colleagues in the financial realm which I thought was wonderful that she didn't behave as if she created the wheel and that only her plan for me would work。 Often financial coaches or gurus create programs and plan to market to consumers。 These plans are marketed as though what they are teaching is a brand-spanking new concept and they just invented it。 When in actuality many of the strategies have been around for decades。 They are being revamped and modified for the times we currently live in。 I appreciate Tori's candidness。 She doesn't take credit for all the nuggets of wisdom that she brings to us in this book。 I appreciate her sharing the spotlight in her book with others to bring us new insights。 Of course， if you are a woman in need of money management advice this book is a must-have for you， but this book is for anyone， not just women regardless of the title。 I can see guys loving the feel of the book just as much as I did。 It was the candor and the rapport that is present throughout each chapter。 Whether you have no clue about financial planning and management or you are well versed in the matter again I think there is more to take away from this book than just Tori's advice on money and spending it is about life and also about the narratives and unwritten rules that we all unconsciously and some consciously play by in our society。 I can't wait to get my physical copy， so I can mark off my passages。 This book probably won't end up on my bookshelf because it will be sitting on my desk with my notebook as I work through this journey to financial freedom！ 。。。more

Super great read for anyone who wants to learn more about personal finance。 This is such a great starting point for those who are confused by budgeting， investing， saving， etc。 As someone who already has a pretty good understanding of it all， I still learned a lot from this book and appreciated the different perspectives it brought！ Recommending to all my friends for sure。

I’ve been listening to the Financial Feminist podcast for over a year now， and this book is all the best parts of that wrapped up into a book binding！ Tori makes financial topics that have formerly been pretty inaccessible to women approachable and provides action steps to get there。 Cannot recommend enough！

This is the first financial book I have read that targeted me as a woman。 The language is easier to understand， and the way she talks about budgeting makes complete sense to me。 Tori has helped me gain a sense of control over my financial situation that I wasn't sure was possible。 A good read， and it is easy to take what you want from here and adjust it to your life。 This is the first financial book I have read that targeted me as a woman。 The language is easier to understand， and the way she talks about budgeting makes complete sense to me。 Tori has helped me gain a sense of control over my financial situation that I wasn't sure was possible。 A good read， and it is easy to take what you want from here and adjust it to your life。 。。。more

I received an early copy of this book before release。 I’ve already learned so much from Tori’s podcast and was so excited to start this！ It did not disappoint。 What I like about Financial Feminist is it’s not like other financial books。 She takes the shame out of enjoying your money while also giving you great advice on how to save and work toward retirement。 Her podcast is great， but the book dives even deeper into topics and gives worth while exercises to put you on the right track。 Definitely I received an early copy of this book before release。 I’ve already learned so much from Tori’s podcast and was so excited to start this！ It did not disappoint。 What I like about Financial Feminist is it’s not like other financial books。 She takes the shame out of enjoying your money while also giving you great advice on how to save and work toward retirement。 Her podcast is great， but the book dives even deeper into topics and gives worth while exercises to put you on the right track。 Definitely going to recommend all my friends read this！ 。。。more

This book is a game changer for anyone who has struggled as an adult because financial literacy was not something they learned growing up。 Yes the book title implies that it is a book for women and yes that is clearly the target audience but the skills are for everyone！ I can’t wait to start putting all of the new information to use。

Loved this book。 Not only does it provide relatable stories， but there’s also actionable tasks that will help you on your journey to financial freedom。 There’s no deprivation mindset and it’s not about hoarding wealth and knowledge for yourself， but about building opportunity and choice that allows you to better yourself， your community， and your world。

This book is a must read。 The book makes the concepts and actions accessible — whether you’re a finance professional or someone just starting to get your finances in order， there’s something for you！ I’m digesting the information not only for myself， but also so that I can guide my kids to set themselves up for financial independence。

A life changing book！ I just graduated from college and student loans and getting my first 9-5 were stressing me out。 I got an early copy of this book and it changed my mindset around money！ Now I know that I’m the one in control of my finances。 My money doesn’t control me anymore。 And I learned it as a beginner to money and in a non judgment way。 No white male mansplaining here！
