If you believe in Manifesting

Great if you want to imagine what life would be like if you grew up in wealth with parents who taught you basic money skills, and are willing to wait through all of that to hear accounts from people who did not start with that huge head start, and can wait through long advertisements for her other projects. Good to know what other people who know take for granted.

As someone whose parents did not buy her candy vending machines to fill and profit from at twelve, I found her very annoying, especially the repeated name dropping and dog whistles for The Secret.

A realistic view into the financial world

Tori does a fantastic job in presenting the world of finance in a realistic way by doing the bare minimum of addressing the EXISTENCE of systemic oppression (a lot of other finance books already fail at this point) and outlining how systemic oppression manifests itself into financial struggles felt by marginalized groups.

She does a very important job of not blaming the financially struggling for having financial struggles. Such empathy is such a stark contrast of the dismissive “if you’re financially struggling it’s somehow ultimately your fault” rhetoric those who sit perched atop their gilded towers ignorant of other life experiences than their own love to spout out.

This book sucks

This book is trash. It insults women’s intelligence and tries to frame them as victims. It’s woke bs.

Everything you need to know to manage your money!

For all the young people out there who never learned the basics of money management this book is for you!
I wish this book had been around when I was young and starting out. I would have made better decisions.

I F**%#£€$ing Love You

This was an amazing and surprisingly quick and fun read. I’m in my mid 50s & yes there were lots of funny references that sort of went over my head—Timmy Chalamet, I can’t be your girlfriend because I’m probably the same age as your mom, so that would be bad. While I was listening I couldn’t help but think, “where have you been my whole life?” But alas Tori wasn’t born or there for me, or for my Mom for that matter, when I needed this advice and guidance. But she’s here now and I’m listening. Tori, I hope I’m not your oldest fan, but I’m willing to accept it if I am. This book is great, even if you’re not the target audience for this book, as honestly I think it resonates just as much for us women in our 50s & 60s who after love & loss are stuck now working on our finances yet again, and realize that so many of our problems have to do with our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves that have been passed down by our moms/ dads / negative experiences, which most definitely in my case are about work and money and what I think I deserve. Tori’s voice is amazing, not just her can do attitude, but also her empathy for all of us who need it now. Thank you for this lovely gift.

What the Doctor Ordered!

At last a resource that breaks down the stigmas around financial literacy and provides a strategic method for getting your money to work for you. This author is courageous, witty and has no hidden agenda. In fact it’s her matter-of-fact writing style that made this such a fun audible listen! I’m mid-aged and found so many helpful suggestions, can’t wait to report back on my success. Thanks Tori Dunlap for your work, the world needs your voice!

Amazing book: Exactly what the world needs more of.

We need more empowerment and less shame around money and personal finance, and this book delivers that.

It is exactly what I wish I had learned back in highschool or even college, when the resounding advice was just “Go to college so you can get a good job”.

I soon realized I had to figure out my own priorities: And this book helped tremendously. It gets to the root of emotional spending instead of just telling you that you’re bad with money and need to cut back on lattes.

The reset button we’ve all been avoiding, finance

Tori and HFK WOW! So inspiring, the thought process and considerations of the audience; because personal finance IS personal. So true! Love this, and because I want more I’ll continue reading it again and again and listen to her podcast. Thank you Tori, I hope this book reaches far and wide after all of the hard work you and your team put in.

Confidence in investing!

I’ve been a fan of the podcast for years. I enjoy how the book takes what you need and organized it a wonderful, helpful way!
