Clever Girl Finance: Ditch Debt, Save Money and Build Real Wealth by Bola Sokunbi
4.0
This one’s for all my boss ladies focused on their coin, self-made through the hustle and grind in whatever world you’re in (fashion, corporate, healthcare, entertainment etc.) or still in school! Clever Girl Finance, written by Bola Sokunbi (a Certified Financial Eduation Instructor and finance expert who saved up over $100k a few years after graduating), is your guide to getting there, wherever you want to be. She gives you practical advice that acts as a jumping point for smart money-making moves that secures your future, including how to change up your mindset and the importance of affirmations. She shows you how to achieve it all without compromising on your lifestyle and instead rearranging it for your benefit.
I personally bought this book right after I graduated from university, because my debts were weighing on my mind, and nobody tells you about job offers, what to look for, what to request, how to negotiate a higher salary, how to INVEST (what’s that?), save, budget etc. At that point, I was swimming in dark waters and this book was exactly what I needed to navigate it. It’s concise, relatable (because retail therapy is real therapy, ok) and very practical tips that are easy to incorporate and become the basis for your financial planning moving forward.
I recommend this to all my girls, whether you’re in school, about to graduate, starting a new job, switching jobs, considering a new career, starting your own business or just trying to figure it all out. This is where you want to start, trust me. Bola Sokunbi also has an online personal finance platform (link in my bio) for women with financial tips, free courses, weekly videos, and a podcast you need to check out!
