Great discussion of how women can succeed in our current society. Explores some of the societal issues that really need addressing and potential alternatives while giving practical advice to work in the system we’re in now. Also Katie is hilarious so you’ll get some chuckles in.

A great read that gave me hope that good things are being done in the government. Made me feel a little happier about paying my taxes haha.

I wasn't sure if a was a historical fiction person or not, but I love empowering female stories, especially ones that involved planes, and this did not disappoint. It was so cool to see three generations of awesome ladies, all living different lives and being their own persons, but still finding things in common with each other. It's a bit of a long read, but I actually feel like it kept up the pace well and I didn't really feel like any sections were particularly slow— you were kinda always wondering what was going to happen next, and it bounced around between stories enough that it's always engaging. It was really deep and sad in some parts, but honestly that gave me a lot of perspective that I think i needed to remember there are bigger problems out there than the ones I'm facing today, so while it was sad it also gave me some strength, courage, and gratitude. And just thankful for everything women before us have done to pave the way.

I’ve followed financial samurai newsletter for a while and thought I liked it and was looking forward to this book, but it just didn’t really hit for me. It just felt like the classic “stop eating avocado toast and save save save and then you’ll be rich!” And didn’t really felt like any new advice, maybe I’ve just read too much like this already. Overall I agree with his points, just didn’t feel very novel. He also lost me at the pitch for asking your parents to help you buy a house and how that meant you need to communicating with them and a good kid and show you’re learning about real estate lol. I’m sure there’s some good tips in here and info for folks who’ve never thought about financial freedom, but if you’re looking for a good finance read to get your life in order, read anything by Ramit Sethi
