Smart Women Finish Rich: 9 Steps to Achieving Financial Security and Funding Your Dreams by David Bach
4.0
more like 3.5 stars
pros:
gives a helpful look at compound interest
explains things like Roth IRAs, Index funds, 401Ks, disability and life insurance.
As well as empowers the reader to do things like ask for a raise and list skills they can adopt to be a candidate for a promotion.
Also includes real data on how women outlive men and need to save more for retirement on making less money than men.
cons:
the intro and first chapter are very sexist against men.
the “latte factor” is a big eye roll for me and sexist since women are generally stereotyped for this
the “real life” stories come across as fake.
he doesn’t “believe” in budgeting which is a terrible belief for any kind of financial advisor to have.
