Description
How can we handle the impact of comparison culture on our bank accounts? Should we want an engagement ring, or is that anti-feminist? How can we say no to events we can’t afford but we feel obliged to attend to please others?
Money has the power to shape, make or even break our lives, and can have a significant impact on our mental health – so why aren’t we treating it as an important part of our wellbeing? In each chapter of this book, financial influencer Ellie Austin-Williams tackles a major area in our life that might bring us financial anxiety, from friendship to love. Topics covered include:
- The rise of girl boss culture
- How society has increasingly encouraged women to spend their way to happiness
- The role of privilege, race and class in our pursuit of financial "success"
- Why we feel we have to get ahead of others to be happy
- The impact of social media on our spending habits
- What we learned about work and money from our parents.
Insights from financial experts add to Ellie's own expertise, alongside relatable anecdotes from real people. Each chapter ends with some practical tips and tricks that you can use to empower yourself to improve your financial wellbeing.

I don't think finance for females is talked about enough. It always seems to be heavily emphazied on the male spectrum. I am beyond excited to acquire Money Talks and share not only me review and thoughts but share this with our readers as well with tips, tricks, and information for women to lead their best healthy financial lives. More to come....

Interesting book. I have learned a few things and I have an interest in finances. Thanks for the free copy.
Firstly - a money book that takes into account being a woman, mental health, and how to take leaps to ensure your financial wellbeing, is gold!
I love that this book takes a look at influencer culture, and how we are influenced by what we see on social media. It also takes a look at comparison culture when it comes to weddings, and how we should look at our values when purchasing most things.

I really enjoyed this book. I like how it focuses more on the pyschology of money and how our lifestyle choices impact our earnings and savings.
Ellie Austin-Williams' "Money Talks" is a real game-changer, blending financial smarts with a feminist touch. It's like having a chat with a savvy friend who knows all about the pressure of keeping up appearances, especially in our social media-driven world. Ellie dives into how our spending is shaped by everything from influencer culture to those big life moments, urging us to check if our spending actually matches our values.
It's like getting a toolbox for handling money woes. And it's not just about budgets and savings; it's a deeper look at how money, mental health, and being a woman in today's world all intertwine. For anyone feeling the pinch or just wanting to get smarter about money, "Money Talks" is a breath of fresh air.
I love love love that we are finally seeing women in the financial sectors. It's exhausting to look at economics/finances from solely a patriarchal viewpoint. Men's finances and women's finances can be completely different, and trying to shove them all under one umbrella doesn't work for women. I appreciated that this was an empowering book highlighting the ways that we can have it all, be money smart, and have fun doing it.
