Goodreads

Berna Anat has written an irreverent and savvy guide to financial management for those feeling left out by the “hella male, pale and stale financial world”. The book is full of hip slang, pertinent black and white illustrations and, most importantly, sound financial advice aimed primarily at women, people of color, and children of immigrants; marginalized groups who often receive minimal financial guidance, if any. Teens and young adults will find it very readable – chapters are divided into short sections, with text bubbles, illustrations, sidebars and funny footnotes – and relatable, as Anat breaks concepts down to be inherently manageable by meeting readers where they are. She covers every financial topic from a first savings account to retirement. Her voice is unique and her writing style engaging; highly recommend.
