Financial Feminist: Overcome the Patriarchy's Bullsh*t to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love Hardcover – December 27, 2022

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!!

I am slowly reading this book, enjoying how easy to read it is

if you’re seeking a simple, actionable step-by-step guide to building financial stability, this is it. it’s the first finance book i’ve read (one of many) that provided a clear path forward. though it’s money advice you’ve likely heard, tori’s telling provides CONFIDENCE & clarity, both of which are invaluable.while i appreciated her perspective on uplifting females as a whole, i don’t think that’s where the book shines. for me, the value came from the homework assignments + how succinct & clear the financial advice was. i now know exactly how to move forward — assured i have a PLAN that will take me to where i want to be — something i’ve never been able to confidently devise before due to confusing, conflicting financial advice. thank you, tori! i wish i had this information years ago.i’ll be gifting this book to friends in the spirit of wanting my loved ones (men included!) to feel more confident, secure, & wise when it comes to building financial stability in a doable way.

A little cringe at times but overall extremely helpful and easy read that I know I can look back at as needed in the future. As someone who grew up in a Dave Ramsey household, this more modern take on finance was very refreshing. I love Tori’s online content and would buy more works from her in the future as well.

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.

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.

I've listened to Tori's podcast and I follow her on IG, but I can't believe it's taken me this long to read her book. The way she breaks things down in a way that is accessible, instead of overwhelming, if fantastic. And it feels like a good friend is in the room with me, teaching me instead of preaching to me. I bought copies for all of my closest girlfriends so we can get ourselves ready to tackle our finances and start growing our in 2025.

The first chapter of the book focuses on the relationship with money and how it came to be, and that is what sets this book apart. It helped me so much and I've gifted and recommended it to so many people. I also held a book club with my colleagues and we all saw the benefits in our business. I still keep my "money dates" with myself every month.
