financial literacy 101
a guide to money + mindset
What started as a personal learning journey became a resource I wanted to share with others.
As I began teaching myself about budgeting, investing, and personal finance, I realized how much of this information is missing from traditional education (and for those of us raised in chaos and constant survival mode).
Many of us enter adulthood without understanding the basics of managing money. Therefore, Financial Literacy: For Pretty Informed Girls is the guide I wish I'd had. It is a beginner-friendly introduction to personal finance that focuses not only on the numbers, but also on the mindset and habits that shape our financial decisions.
Because finance is really just basic math. The hard part isn't the numbers, it's the emotions behind them.
here's what's inside:
→ Why emotional regulation is the most underrated financial skill you have
→ How to set goals you'll actually achieve
→ Emergency fund + why it comes before anything else
→ HYSAs, debt payoff strategies, and making your savings grow
→ Roth vs Traditional IRAs + 401(K)s
→ Marriage, prenups, joint accounts, and protecting yourself
→ The process of purchasing a home
