Clever Girl Finance
by Bola Sokunbi
A practical, encouraging guide to budgeting, debt, saving, credit and investing basics, written for women and especially for those who were never taught money at home. It is organized, with worksheets and action steps, and it avoids both shame and hype. A good first finance book.
Read it if…
you are starting from scratch and want a clear, kind guide.
Skip it if…
you are already investing; this is foundational.
Three things you will actually use
- Budget by priority, not deprivation.
- Build the emergency fund before anything else.
- Automate; good intentions do not compound.
Do this first
Write every recurring expense on one page and mark which you would miss.
Our verdict
Clear and encouraging; a solid foundation.
