Rich Girl Nation Taking Charge of Our Financial Futures

Women experience money differently than men do. In the United States, women have only 55 cents for every dollar held by men, are more likely to end up in poverty following a divorce, and are less likely to retire with the resources they need. But what can women do to build wealth and claim financial power in a system that wasn''t designed for them? Katie Gatti Tassin, personal finance blogger and host of the popular podcast The Money with Katie Show, has built an energised following by diving deep into the broader social issues that impact women''s everyday financial experiences and sharing practical solutions to tackle them. In Rich Girl Nation, Tassin covers six major challenges unique to women on their journey to financial freedom: Consumer industries that target women by creating (then selling solutions to) insecurities; Gender bias in negotiation and the stubborn persistence of the wage gap; Financial knowledge gaps perpetuated by gender stereotypes; Financial inequity and dependence in marriage; High childcare costs that force many women out of the workforce by default; The tendency to defer long-term financial planning decisions to male partners. Using her trademark scrupulous research and good humour, Tassin provides clear, actionable advice for each dilemma through essential smart money practices. With Rich Girl Nation, you''ll learn the real story behind our patriarchal financial system - and exactly how you can navigate it while we fight for broader systemic change. It''s time for women to unite in unapologetic financial autonomy with the net worths to prove it - so that we may change the playing field for ourselves and the women who come after us.
