What people are saying about "Smart Mom, Rich Mom:"

"Smart moms will learn how to make the most of each paycheck while cultivating career satisfaction and passing on an appreciation for present circumstances to the next generation. Women of all walks of life will gain confidence as the purpose of the 401(k) and the 529 account suddenly makes perfect sense, and financial security is within reach rather than an abstract concept." -- Foreword Reviews

There's a desperately needed dose of practical feminism in Palmer's (The Economy of You) excellent book, which targets middle-class women in their childbearing years, an often neglected audience for financial advice....This invaluable resource does much more than fill a niche; it bridges a huge gap." -- Publishers Weekly

"Anyone who tells you women don't need financial advice specifically for them is wrong. Whether you're the caretaker, the breadwinner, or both, 'Smart Mom, Rich Mom' will be an indispensable resource for you." -- Jean Chatzky, Today Show, Financial Editor

“Her general points — for example, that the spending and saving habits we develop in our 20s have a significant impact on our financial future — are solid. And she is occasionally very witty.” --The New York Times

Smart Mom, Rich Mom

How to Build Wealth While Raising a Family

Kimberly Palmer

Of all life’s financial shocks, few compare to bringing home an infant. Just one tiny person costs $250,000 to raise—not including college!

How will you pay for it? That agonizing question fuels mothers’ choices about their careers, budgets, and families. Some lean in, some scale back, or seek new opportunities—there are no easy answers…but lots of rewarding possibilities.

Smart Mom, Rich Mom explores how women today are navigating the financially challenging career/parenting years. Written by a national money columnist and mom of two, the book chronicles people who have stayed in the game—full-time, freelance, self-employed, and more—and emerged more prosperous and empowered.

Smart Mom, Rich Mom mines their experiences to uncover both career advice and spending and savings strategies that everyone can use. Stories, checklists, action steps, planning tools, and more explain how to:

• Prepare financially for parenthood—whether you’re expecting your first child or your third • Balance thrift with generating income and investing wisely • Find flexibility at work while safeguarding your earning potential • Save for both college and retirement despite increased expenses • Plan for unexpected events, like a layoff or illness • And much more

Kids change our lives, adding joy but draining bank accounts. Smart Mom, Rich Mom helps you adopt healthy habits—and make hard decisions—that pay off in abundance.
