3 Personal Finance Books Every Woman Should Read

Managing money isn’t just about spreadsheets and budgets, it’s about freedom, confidence, and making hard decisions. Whether your goals are building wealth, getting out of debt, or simply trying to understand how to manage your finances better, the right book can be a game-changer.

Here are three personal finance books I highly recommend every woman read. These aren’t just about money, they’re about mindset, independence, and building a life you love.

1. Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap

Tori Dunlap’s Financial Feminist is more than a book, it’s a movement. It blends practical financial advice with commentary on how systems have historically failed women when it comes to money. With a voice that’s no-nonsense and empowering, Tori covers everything from budgeting and saving to investing and negotiating your salary.

What I love: This book doesn’t just teach you how to manage money, it explains why it's so important for women to do so. Tori’s writing feels like a conversation with a smart, supportive friend who’s determined to see you thrive.

2. Rich AF by Vivian Tu

Vivian Tu, also known as “Your Rich BFF” on social media, brings humor, energy, and financial wisdom to Rich AF. She breaks down complex topics like credit scores, investing, and retirement planning into digestible, relatable nuggets with a ton of personality.

What I love: This book is perfect if you're looking for straight talk and a little sass with your savings strategy. Vivian’s voice makes financial literacy feel approachable and even fun, which is exactly what many of us need to stay motivated.

3. Get Good With Money by Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche

Tiffany Aliche is a legend in the personal finance space, and her book Get Good With Money is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to financial literacy. She walks you through ten core components of your financial life, from budgeting a

nd credit to insurance and estate planning.

What I love: Tiffany’s framework is actionable and compassionate. She doesn’t just tell you what to do, she helps you figure out where to start and how to keep going. It’s perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the big picture and wants a roadmap.

These books each bring something unique to the table, but what they have in common is a commitment to helping women feel confident, capable, and in control of their money. Whether you read one or all three, I promise you’ll walk away with tools to transform your financial life.
