Synopsis

Get paid what you're worth, build secure relationships, and make your money last with this valuable guide from a Today show financial editor and bestselling author.

Ask successful women what they want from their money and they'll tell you: independence, security, choices, a better world, and--oh yes--way less stress, not just for themselves but for their kids, partners, parents, and friends. Through a series of HerMoney Happy Hour discussions (when money is the topic, wine helps) and one-on-one conversations, Jean Chatzky gets women to open up about the one topic we still never talk about. Then she flips the script and charts a pathway to this joyful, purpose-filled life that today's women not only want but also, finally, have the resources to afford.

Through Chatzky's candid three-part plan--formed through detailed reporting with the world's top economists, psychiatrists, behaviorists, financial planners, and attorneys, as well as her own two decades of experience in the field--readers will learn to:
1. Explore their relationships with money,2. Take control of their money, and 3. Use their money to create the life they want.
Women With Money shows readers how to wrap their hands around tactical solutions to get paid what they deserve, become inspired to start businesses, invest for tomorrow, make their money last, and then use that money to foster secure relationships, raise independent and confident children, send those kids to college, care for their aging parents, leave a legacy, and--best of all--bring them joy!

Goodreads review by thebakedbook on April 06, 2019

Thorough coverage of middle to wealthy class women. I feel like it really didn't delve into the millennial POV, which is so different from a boomer experience (what pension??) It kind of made me appreciate how slick and sneaky my generation is vs the boomers. There was some good insight on how to th......more

Every woman should read this book! It gives some great money saving tips, and helps you think about long-term and short-term financial goals.

Goodreads review by Alaina on December 06, 2024

Comprehensive guide to money, why we do what we do, how to do what you want to do, and when to do what you need to do. It went beyond the scope of what I need right now, but my goal was to understand my retirement account and it definitely did that. I also now know how to set a budget and inheritanc......more

Goodreads review by Erin on June 25, 2019

I really liked both the format of this book and the author's style. I listen to the HerMoney podcast and found out about the book through that forum. It's a good extension of the podcast though some of the content is inevitably repeated. Still, well worth the relatively quick read.......more
