I only made it to 40%. I think a better title for this book would’ve been The Psychology of Money for Men.
We make it through 32% of the book before a woman is mentioned, and she’s a made-up character to illustrate a point comparing her investing strategy with two male made-up characters.
The quotes are from men, the stories are from men, the metaphors are from sports.
And then, finally, at the 40% mark, a woman is mentioned. Rihanna… who made some poor financial decisions, and had to be told not to spend all her money. Really? In a book full of men, when we finally get to a woman, a hugely successful woman at that, we talk only about where she didn’t do as well.
The author writes about the fact that people are newbies at investing and therefore not all that good at it yet. It seems to me that women are even less experienced at investing since we haven’t had control of money throughout most of our history. The potential gender differences aren’t acknowledged. The assumed default here is men.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m going to read a book about money written by a woman.
