Rich Girl, Broke Girl is an informative read if you need a beginners guide to handling your finances.
The book is comprised of a series of case studies about women with a range of financial challenges, embedded with practical advice for those dealing with similar situations. The book covers a range of topics such as saving, credit cards, borrowing, interest rates, marital/couple/divorce finances, handling debt, credit ratings, investment accounts, stocks, etc. The author focuses on women as a result of many up to date statistics she provides about a perceived lack of confidence and knowledge of personal finances.
In my opinion, this would be an excellent read for high school students learning about financial literacy, or for those in their early twenties just beginning to get a handle on their independent finances. It’s written in a fairly simplistic, easy to understand format, and really just provides the basics to personal finance. The first half provides a very basic understanding finances, however it does dive into more complex financial matters in the second half. I see how it could be a valuable resource for beginners, but if you already have a solid understanding of personal finance and budgeting, this book may not take you too much further.

Full review of Rich Girl, Broke Girl: Save Better, Invest Smarter, and Earn Financial Freedom

I'm not one that usually reads non fiction, especially the self help type, but this book spoke to me. Super helpful and relatable tips and tricks. Perfect read for the start of the new year as we can hope for a prosperous and wonderful 2022! Highly recommend for the mid-twenties girl!

Everyone should read this book! Financial literacy is so important. Too many people blindly walk into debilitating debt and then struggle. I enjoy watching Kelley Keehn when she appears on the Marilyn Dennis Show. She has written a straight forward, no nonsense book that reads easily. Rich Girl, Broke Girl should be on a required reading list for students and a book club selection so that people get the conversation going.
…..a great Christmas/holiday gift!
Thank You to Simon & Schuster Canada,, Kelley Keehn and NetGalley for the opportunity to peruse this ARC.

This was an okay read.

I liked the premise of women empowerment, but there is nothing new in this book.

Yes, tips on how, as a woman, you can ensure your financial success, but like I said, nothing new here.

Liked the writing style though, just was hoping for a few good pieces of advise.

First I love that the author is Canadian based! The book is broken down into case studies including what what wrong and steps on how to fix the situation. Great for beginners looking to improve their financial health.

Rich Girl, Broke Girl is a compelling read for any Canadian woman.

The book outlines several financial situations and outlines tips and missteps for the situation. As a young woman attempting to create better financial habits, this book was fascinating. I found Keehn's advice helpful and relevant. Also, I feel it fills a gap in the financial literature I've been seeking out as there are very few books aimed at Canadian young women.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
