Awesome Finance Books Every Woman Should Read

Thank you for sharing!

The most successful people in the world all have one thing in common: they never stop reading. Having previously shared what I consider the best books about finance, many of you expressed interest in reading and discussing them together, as well as having regular recommendations on finance books to read. And so last year, the Family Finance Mom Book Club was born. Read on to learn how you can find our current club pick and join the discussion!

Family Finance Mom Book Club

Nonfiction can be a turn off for some readers. It can also be hard to read about topics that are new to you, if you have to look up new vocabulary or don’t have a resource to support you when you encounter elements you don’t understand. But for those interested in deepening their understanding of personal finance, books can be a tremendous resource.

How #FFMBookClub Works

Since there is no shortage of finance books to read, each quarter, I come up with a shortlist of nonfiction picks related to finance. They vary from social commentary on economic inequality, personal stories of financial improvement, market history, to even self improvement books you can apply to all elements of your life, including your family finances.

I put the list up to a vote in my Instagram stories, and my followers choose the book we will read. We read one new book each quarter. A new book is announced the first week of each quarter in January, April, July, and October for discussion during the last month of the quarter in March, June, September and December.

To join the discussion, all you have to do is follow me @FamilyFinanceMom and #FFMBookClub on Instagram. You’ll find all our previous book picks and discussion posts there. And as you read with us, you are welcome to post your own as well!

Our Current Pick Is…

For Q3 2020, we are currently reading The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein. Discussions will begin in September 2020!

Tomorrow marks the start of a new month and a new quarter… which means it’s time for a new #FFMBookClub pick. * This quarter, I narrowed the list to 4 books to help continue our learning about systemic racism and the financial inequality it has created. You all voted and chose The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein as the read for Q3. * Rothstein is an American historian whose research focuses on the history of segregation in the US, specifically with regards to education and housing. In The Color of Law, he argues that racial housing segregation is the result of government policies at every level: federal, state and local. * We will begin our discussion in September, so you have plenty of time to read. I look forward to reading, learning and discussing with you all! * For past reads, and more details on how the FFM Book Club works, check out the direct link in my bio
