Doing a bit of reflection on some of these books and thinking about how difficult it is to provide a long-standing educational guide when the economic realities change so rapidly. Some of these are published in 2024 and 2025 and even then I think thereâs been more human loss, volatility and fear than a lot of these Authors hoped for the world. Im going to look into some upcoming releases for 2026/2027 and may add some holistic value leaning books to help balance out the list
ooh interesting niche!! i read something similar recently that was helpful and also surprisingly emotional: I Survived Capitalism and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt by Madeline Pendleton!


Added (and added to my TBR as well) it looks like a great read đĽđ
Madeline: âI never wanted to write a book about money. I wanted to read a book about money, a book that acknowledged the financial reality that our generations were born into. What I found instead were books written by men much older than me about how to survive in a world that didnât seem to exist anymore.â
yes yes yes! i loved this book it changed my perspective so much


Thats what I love, when a book helps shape / change a perspective and makes you feel like you can navigate such a world - especially money which we all have kinda complicated relationships with right. So good
Rich Girl Nation, Katie Tassin! My copy is finally almost ready on Libby!


Just looked it up, the fact it states it has information on prenups and salary negotiation strategies has me immediately interested. Added to my tbr and this list! I'll keep an eye out for your thoughts đ
:) I like this, excited to read these~
Iâd like to recommend âMoving beyond broke â by Dasha Kennedy and âA black girls guide to financial literacyâ by Paris Woods. I also would like to recommend âBudget Happyâ by Lisa Woodley.


Thank you so much for the recommendations, these all have really impactful reviews fantastic. I love to see communities being built to facilitate safe inclusive spaces to chat finances. Such good work. Adding them to the list, appreciate your input â¤ď¸
