THE BEST PERSONAL FINANCIAL BOOKS FOR WOMEN
Are you looking for financial books specifically geared towards women?
Then you have come to the right place!
I love reading personal finance books. I have read all kinds of books, and I have many favorites. Some of my favorites happen to be personal finance books tailored toward women because well I am a woman :-). They address issues women can relate to. Not that we cannot relate to all books, I mean I love Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover and David Bach’s Automatic Millionaire.
I’ve read a bunch of bookson finances and wanted to create a shortlist of my favorite personal finance books for women (although a man can read these as well). No time to read or want to save this article for later? PIN IT!!
Personal Finance Books for Women
1. Your Money or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence
This book was recently updated and I absolutely love it! It isn’t geared just towards women but it introduced me to what real Financial independence is.

With this book, you’ll learn how to get out of debt and develop savings, save money through mindfulness and good habits, not strict budgeting, declutter your life and live well for less, invest your savings and begin creating wealth, save the planet while saving money and much more!

2. You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth
You Are a Badass at Making Money will launch you past the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success beyond your reach. Drawing on her own transformation author Jen Sincero talks about how she went from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style.
I enjoyed this book, it really transforms your money mindset and makes you think.
3. Worth It: Your Life, Your Money, Your Terms
Written by the CEO of DailyWorth.com, author Amanda Steinberg shows women how to view money as a source of personal power and freedom and live life on their own terms.
Worth It outlines the essential financial information women need—and everything the institutions and advisors don’t spell out. Steinberg gets to the bottom of why women are stressed and anxious when it comes to their finances and teaches them to stay away from strict budgeting and other harsh austerity practices.
Instead, she makes money relatable, while sharing strategies she uses herself to build confidence and ease in her own financial life. This one is on my list next!
4. Smart Women Finish Rich (Expanded and Updated Version)

6. Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles Kindle Edition
Sacred Success®: A Course in Financial Miracles shows women there is a better way to achieve wealth and power: on your own terms—as a woman. I just downloaded this one and am excited to read it as I heard so many great things about it.
Barbara Stanny, the leading expert on women and money, has helped women take control of their finances for two decades—and she knows there is much more to success than how much you earn.
In her work with powerful, successful women over the last 20 years, bestselling author and financial educator Stanny has found that most women’s problems with money have little to do with money itself, but rather with their fear of, or ambivalence toward, power. Instead of pushing women to pursue financial success in traditional fashion, Sacred Success seeks to redefine power from a feminine perspective.
7. Make Your Kid A Money Genius (Even If You’re Not): A Parents’ Guide for Kids 3 to 23
Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even If You’re Not) is a jargon-free, step-by-step guide to help parents of all income levels teach their kids—from ages three to twenty-three—about money. It turns out the key to raising a money genius isn’t to teach that four quarters equal a dollar or how to pick a stock.
Instead, it’s about instilling values that have been proven to make people successful—not just financially, but in life: delaying gratification, working hard, living within your means, getting a good education, and acting generously toward others.
More specifically, you’ll learn why allowance isn’t the Holy Grail when teaching your kid to handle money, and why after-school jobs aren’t always the answer either. You’ll discover the right age to give your kid a credit card and learn why doling out a wad of cash can actually be a good parenting move.
