Summary

Katie Gatti Tassin had the job, the paycheck, and the potential. But two weeks after every payday, she was broke again. And that’s when she realized: something had to change. What started as a personal audit of her spending (her beauty budget was 10% of her income!) turned into Money with Katie, a financial education platform that’s now helping millions of women take control of their money and retire on their own terms. We’re talking with Katie about her new book, Rich Girl Nation: Taking Control of Our Financial Futures, and her mission to help women, especially Gen Z and young Millennials, rethink the traditional rules of work, wealth, and independence. … Does more financial confidence sound good to you, then you might want to try: 🚀 ⁠FinanceFixx⁠ – Our 4 or 8-week coaching program to get your finances on track! 📈 ⁠InvestingFixx⁠ – A club for women ready to grow their wealth.
