From The Financial Diet blog, the hugely popular website that
inspires over a million women a month to talk about money, comes a
beautifully designed, smart, and practical step-by-step guide for how
you can save, spend, date, dress, decorate, and dream your way to your
best financial life.
In 2014, a frustrated Chelsea Fagan started a blog about how she was bad
with money and determined to take charge of her life. She called it The
Financial Diet because she didn't want to keep treating her financial
health the way she was treating her body--by eating an entire bag of
jalapeño kettle chips at night and then wondering why she felt terrible
the next morning.
Today, the blog has grown into a vibrant web community--one where money
is finally interesting to talk about. The Financial Diet will be a
savvy older sister, a trusted friend, and the girl at the office who
always seems to have her sh*t together. It also brings in money experts
who really know their stuff to help you make the best choices for your
financial health.
The Financial Diet gives you tools to make a budget, consider
investments, and deal with your credit. But, The Financial Diet also
understands that being smarter with money isn't just about what you put
in the bank; it's about everything from the clothes you put in your
closet to the food you put in your kitchen (instead of ordering in . . .
again). The book includes quick and cheap recipes, tricks to give your
wardrobe longevity, and affordable DIY projects for your home. It also
tackles how happiness and love relate to financial success, gives you
tips about negotiating a raise, and shares the perfect cocktail recipe
to celebrate your new salary.
The Financial Diet is the only diet that works--it will cut the junk
out of your life and your wallet, get your finances in shape, and
empower you to want to talk about money as much as you want to talk
about sex. Beautifully designed, and full of relatable humor, The
Financial Diet takes everything that makes the site a unique
destination and turns it into the book every smart, successful woman has
to have on her shelf.
