Women’s Personal Finance: Wednesday Roundup October 13, 2021

Welcome to the Women’s Personal Finance Wednesday Roundup! We started this series back in 2018 on TreadLightlyRetireEarly.com to showcase the fabulous women in the online personal finance community who are talking about money online. Even now, there is a perception that women aren’t good with money, don’t care about money, or don’t understand it on a granular level beyond perhaps knowing how to coupon and score a good shopping deal.

These roundups are our way of doing a small part to change that perception. There is no shortage of women online doing their part to make it clear that they DO understand money, and these posts are meant to amplify that fact.

Why does it matter? Because representation matters. Because reading and hearing stories from those who (may or may not) look like us show us that yes, we too can figure out this money thing, that we too have important stories to tell. And that we too know quite a lot about money and are experts worth listening to.

Since Women’s Personal Finance has grown up to get its own website, it’s time to transition these roundups over here to the dedicated website. Same great content, new home!

Our Women’s Personal Finance Facebook group on Facebook also has a sharing thread on Fridays, and that’s the place to read all the blog posts written by members over the previous week. If you’re looking for more articles written by women, that’s a great place to continue reading (plus we have plenty of great discussions on finances the rest of the week as well!).

If you don’t have the time or inclination to go searching down myriad posts, though, we will be continuing this series every week to showcase some of the best of the new content we read. If you ever read a post you think we absolutely need to consider for this roundup, please let us know! We are always open to reading new blogs and want to celebrate those newer voices as well as the more seasoned ones.

And with that, here is the best (in our opinion) content by women and nonbinary folks this past week. Let us know what you think in the comments! We love discussion.

Women’s Personal Finance Weekly Roundup #18 (Actually, 155)

1. Giving Up On Junk Budget Life List 

“For many, many years, I was an average consumer.

I bought what was needed, when it was needed. The only requirement was price. As long as it lasted for a while, I was content to buy junk and buy it again when it broke.

Somewhere along the way, that changed.

I changed.

My perspective on buying has shifted gradually by articles read, lifestyle lived, and trash cans filled.”

2. 10 Ways To Stop Comparing Yourself To Others & Love Who You Are Making Sense of Cents

“Every single thing you have accomplished had a beginning. 

If you can remember back to that starting point, some of them were probably easy to start and follow through on, but some may have left you feeling scared or uncertain. And, we all have different circumstances when starting on a new goal. Some of us have more experience in an area, more time, help from friends or family, or even just luck.

Everyone’s beginning is different, but we all have one.”

3. Yes, You can Invest with as Little as $10 The Moneyaires

“One of the biggest things that hold people from investing and growing their money is the thought that they don’t have enough money yet to start investing. Have you ever thought, “I’ll start investing once I save up $1,000”? 

Forget that!”

  1. Great round-up post! It reminds me I have to get back to doing them, they are a lot of fun and a great way of finding other interesting blogs.

    I just found your group on Facebook today and I’m sure it will soon be one of my favorites. I’m a CPA and financial independence blogger ( working on becoming just the latter 😉).
