Book Synopsis

From the founder of Money with Katie, a leveled-up finance guide for ambitious women everywhere--and a rallying cry for a new money movement

Women experience money differently than men do. In the United States, women have only 55 cents for every dollar of wealth 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. 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 writer and host of the popular podcast The Money with Katie Show, has built an energized following of smart, ambitious women seeking a deeper understanding of the financial issues that affect them. In Rich Girl Nation, Tassin deconstructs the unique challenges women face on their journey to financial freedom, offering context and nuanced guidance on money matters including:

- Performing a budgetary "Hot Girl Detox"
- Proven salary negotiation strategies that effectively navigate gender bias
- Investing frameworks that make you the leader of your financial life
- How (and why) to create a prenup
- Preparing and saving for childcare efficiently
- Retiring independently (and in a tax-optimized way)

Packed with scrupulous research and Tassin's trademark wit, Rich Girl Nation uncovers the real story behind our financial system and shows us exactly how to thrive within it while we fight for broader change. It's time for women to unite in unapologetic financial autonomy with the net worths to show for it--and to change the playing field not just for ourselves but for the next generation of Rich Girls, too.
