Our Ultimate List of Finance Books by Latinas for Latinas
Entering your Señora Era looks different for every Latina. Some of us adopt a jungle of plants for our homes. Others collect hacks and tips for the home. But what we all do is pay more attention to our finances — some of us even change careers!
What is certain is that there comes a time in our lives when we finally pay attention to our spending habits and even keep an eye on the state of the stock market.
In the end, Latinas know better than anyone how important it is to have a balanced economy — whether we make it or not. And who better than another Latina to teach us about finances?
At FIERCE, we’ve compiled our favorite finance books written by Latinas for Latinas, and we want to share them with you. After all, knowledge is power!
