Hi {{ first_name | }}

Let’s talk money — the kind that stays, grows, and works while you rest.

If you grew up being told “just save” but never how to invest, or you’ve heard “you should start now” with zero explanation of what “now” even looks like, this one’s for you.

Here’s the truth: financial literacy is power. And women are building it, owning it, and passing it down (ya generational wealth!).

Here’s how you can get started today.

1. Start small — and start anyway

You do not need $10,000 to begin investing. Many platforms let you start with $5 or $10. The point isn’t the amount! It’s building the habit that compounds over time.

All you need is a good, user-friendly and beginner-friendly app to start investing, I can recommend this one if you’re American, and this one if you’re Canadian (which, in addition to allowing you to buy Canadian and American stocks, also provides tax-free savings accounts, RRSP accounts and more).

2. Know your financial “why”

Investing isn’t just numbers. It’s freedom to leave a job you’ve outgrown, say yes to a new city, or help a loved one without spiraling. Naming your reason makes every budget line easier to honor. So, script it out! Make your money vision board!

Here’s how to create a money vision board.

3. Automate your future

Set up automatic transfers into a high-yield savings account or IRA. Treat it like a bill you have to pay. Your future self will be so proud — and a lot less stressed.

4. Own businesses

Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting that you shell out $500k to buy a Laundromat! These days, it’s all about owning digital businesses!

I’m talking profitable blogs, ecommerce sites and digital products shops. These are the types of businesses that have unlimited growth potential, low to no overhead/expenses, and there’s something for every buyer’s budget.

Take a look at these digital businesses available to acquire now.

5. Talk about it

Money silence keeps women out of rooms where decisions get made. Start small: share a podcast you liked, ask a friend what app they use to invest, or tell your group chat when you raise your rates. Normalize women being smart and rich.
