Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life

I am a young white male. This book is written for “women, people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and marginalized communities.� That being said, it felt like the book was really just great financial advice that occasionally pandered to her demographic by referring to that line enough to make them feel important. But you know, if being a girly pop is gonna get me to my goals then Hey Girl Heyyyyy!
I’ve only been attempting to become more financially literate for a couple months but honestly, the way this book is structured is really all you need. It starts with the basics of money, flows into what to do with that money (budgeting), then finishes with how you can better utilize your money (investing). It does this well and all while being extremely practical and easy to read with actionable items. And tbh it was way better than “rich dad poor dad� and most definitely gives a perfect intro to better understanding finance.
And anytime she gave her “women, poc, LGBTQ+, margins community� line I just added “and me.�

This is why I feel like all of these finance for women things need to stop. Financial literacy is accessible to EVERYONE. Just because finance has been dominated by men for eons does NOT MEAN women CANNOT do it now.
The whole point is that when you don't see any faces or hear any voices that look/sound like yours, it's harder to feel like you belong somewhere. I'm 100% more likely to take a chance on a book by someone who acknowledges that, even if that's the only difference. It makes me feel both safe and empowered and not-so-alone. If that was literally the only difference between her book and 9 others work similar content, I would choose hers. Financial literacy has been institutionally gatekept for so long, I need all the encouragement i can get as a 36-y/o Asian/Latino woman who works in the trades and grew up on foodstamps
Love this review haha
Lmaooo this is my favorite review I’ve ever seen
Perfect review of the book. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Omega these books exist because it hasn't always been available to women. She tells you that in the introduction.
