Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life by Vivian Tu
4.75
An excellent beginner-friendly financial literacy book. I’m usually skeptical of these sorts of books, but I’ve followed Viv on Instagram for a while and learned a lot just from her videos. Her background as being a poor child of Chinese immigrants also gave her more credibility and relatability compared to the “born rich” financial gurus I often see online. She also acknowledges how systemic issues (classism, racism, misogyny, queerphobia, etc) create financial hardships. This means it’s even more important that people from marginalized communities become financially literate.
I learned SO MUCH from this book. Financial anxiety is something I’ve long dealt with on top of never receiving proper guidance when it comes to money. This is an amazing book for:
- young people
- those with financial anxiety
- people who grew up low income + or in families with unhealthy financial habits
- anyone unfamiliar with or not entirely sure how investing, savings, taxes, banks, credit cards, or debt works
- anyone wanting to just better handle their current finances
What would have been the cherry on top for me is a section pertaining to insurance plans (medical, dental, vision, rental, homeowners, etc). Insurance was mentioned a few times in various chapters but I would have liked a deeper dive.
