About the Book
Do your eyes glaze over just thinking about the mumbo-jumbo language of finance? Do you break out into hives when faced with getting your financial life together? Well, sister, you are not alone.
In Rich Bitch, money expert and financial journalist Nicole Lapin lays out a 12-Step Plan in which she shares her experiences—mistakes and all—of getting her own finances in order. She talks to you not like a lecturer but as your friend. And even though money is typically an “off-limits” conversation, nothing is off-limits here.
Lapin rethinks every piece of financial “wisdom” you’ve ever heard and puts her own fresh, modern, sassy spin on it. Sure, there are some hard-and-fast rules about finance, but when it comes to your money, the only person who can tell you how to spend it is you. Should you invest in a 401(k)? Maybe not. Should you splurge on that morning latte? Likely yes. Instead of focusing on nickel-and-diming yourself, Nicole’s advice focuses on investing in yourself so you don’t have to stress over the little things.
Rich Bitch rehabs whatever bad money habits you might have and provides a plan you can not only sustain, but also thrive on. You won’t feel deprived but rather inspired to go after the rich life you deserve, and confident enough to call yourself a rich bitch.
My Review
I recently have been getting more into financial self-help books, and I heard of Nicole Lapin through a podcast I listen to. I enjoyed her advice and energy, so I looked up her books and decided to start with Rich Bitch. I could tell from the first few pages I was going to love this one. There are plenty of tangible tasks I could take on, and I read with a notebook next to me so I could continually take notes on how to help get my financial life in a good spot. I appreciated Nicole’s personal stories that she interjected along the way, and her writing style matched what I enjoy reading in the fiction space. As a 30-something female I really felt an easy connection with this one, and I will be happily be downloading more from Nicole Lapin!
