Publisher Marketing:
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A life-changing path to the financial freedom we all deserve: How to Be a Rich Old Lady is filled with humor, heart, and real-world perspective.

Amanda Holden spent years working in investment management, where she saw exactly who gets access to the power, ease, and opportunity money can bring--and it wasn't people like her friends. She also saw how the financial system is designed to feel exclusive and confusing, and how it blames individuals for economic problems they didn't create. So, Amanda left her finance job to launch Invested Development, a financial education company where she has taught more than twenty-five thousand students how to invest with radical clarity, accessibility, and joy.

Here, all her expertise is packed into a guide that won't feel like getting cornered by a crypto bro. Instead, it reads like a text from your smartest friend: "Let's figure out money, so we can stop thinking about money." Because this practice isn't just about planning for your wild and glorious future--it's about the relief of knowing you're doing everything you can right now. In these pages, you will:
  • Set up a fully automated investing strategy--so you can move on with your life
  • Use hands-on tools and worksheets to guide you to financial independence
  • Learn about investing in a way that is truly memorable
  • Demystify retirement accounts and tax rules
  • Learn who to trust in the finance world--and who to avoid
  • Master how to research, buy, and track the right investments for you
  • Explore what it means to live a wild, beautiful life beyond Roth IRAs

How to Be a Rich Old Lady is a step-by-step road map to financial freedom. It's not just about numbers on a spreadsheet but building a life that feels secure enough to dream into. Maybe your Rich Old Lady is wearing belly chains at the beach, tanned and wrinkly and totally unbothered. Maybe she's befriending the birds at her cozy forest cabin. Maybe she's leaving $500 tips on her diner coffee. Whatever your vision, this approachable guide to investing and wealth-building will help you build a plan to greet her with confidence, security, and genuine hope for tomorrow.
