Realize financial stability and investing confidence with this one-of-a-kind resource by renowned money expert Nicole Lapin.
New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch Nicole Lapin gives you the skinny on how financial markets and common investing strategies work to build your understanding and gain confidence. The Money School is divided into courses (of course), four of them, with three levels each, totaling 12 lessons all together. The first course focuses on the stock market, where you'll learn all about one of the most potent and accessible forces in our financial system. The second zooms into debt (the good kind!), where you own debt, not owe it via CDs and treasury bonds. The third course steps it up with more exotic or advanced securities like commodities, currencies, and derivatives. The final part wraps it all up with how you can make a portfolio to help you reach your own financial success as you define it.
Once you have completed the courses, turn to the end of the book for self-assessment quizzes and a full dictionary of key financial terms to keep on hand as a resource. Class is in session!

In this New York Times bestseller, journalist and financial expert Nicole Lapin shows women how to take charge of their lives by taking charge of their money
You might not know this but stressing over money can harm your overall health. Let Nicole be the doctor for your financial health and you will feel better in more ways than you'd think.
--Dr. Oz, host of the Dr. Oz Show, and Lisa Oz, host of the Lisa Oz Show
Do your eyes glaze over just thinking about the mumbo-jumbo language of finance? Do you break out into hives when faced with getting your financial life together? Well, sister, you are not alone.
In Rich Bitch, money expert and financial journalist Nicole Lapin lays out a 12-Step Plan in which she shares her experiences--mistakes and all--of getting her own finances in order. She talks to you not like a lecturer but as your friend. And even though money is typically an off-limits conversation, nothing is off-limits here.
Lapin rethinks every piece of financial wisdom you've ever heard and puts her own fresh, modern, sassy spin on it. Sure, there are some hard-and-fast rules about finance, but when it comes to your money, the only person who can tell you how to spend it is you. Should you invest in a 401(k)? Maybe not. Should you splurge on that morning latte? Likely yes. Instead of focusing on nickel-and-diming yourself, Nicole's advice focuses on investing in yourself so you don't have to stress over the little things.
Rich Bitch rehabs whatever bad money habits you might have and provides a plan you can not only sustain, but also thrive on. You won't feel deprived but rather inspired to go after the rich life you deserve, and confident enough to call yourself a rich bitch.
