Beyond Getting By

The Financial Diet's Guide to Abundant and Intentional Living

De: Holly Trantham, Chelsea Fagan - foreword

Narrado por: Holly Trantham, Chelsea Fagan

A beautiful, full-color guide to living with money, not for money, packed with fun, tangible advice from the women behind The Financial Diet.

“Beyond Getting By will make you feel better, not worse, about your money and your life.”—Tiffany “the Budgetnista” Aliche, New York Times bestselling author of Get Good with Money

The girlboss came in many forms, and she struggled valiantly against our increasing exhaustion at her brand of pinkwashed-capitalism-as-liberation—but it’s time to put her to rest. Yes, money is essential to life, and managing it well can be the difference between freedom and constraint. But once you have enough, the focus should be on converting it into things that are meaningful to you: more time with the people you love, more creativity, more days to just vibe on the couch.

In Beyond Getting By, the women behind The Financial Diet teach you how to create (and pay for) a life you truly enjoy—and that you can be proud of. They show you how to push beyond what society tells you will make you happy to determine what you actually want, with specific advice and interactive exercises on

• how to define your own budget philosophy by no longer chasing fast fashion and instant gratification, instead allowing the unlikely duo of Sigmund Freud and Elizabeth Warren to guide your budgeting

• how the idea that we have equal opportunity is bullshit—and how to start a self-advocacy journal in order to kill it in that next raise negotiation

• how to stave off burnout by valuing your personal life with as much care as your career, in addition to figuring out the true worth of your time

Beyond Getting By is for the woman interested in a life where money is simply a tool and never a reflection of her worth. It’s for the woman who understands the limits of gamifying personal finance, and that following trends isn’t the same as creating a sustainable, wealth-generating plan for the future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Finally, a financial book not about ‘nose to the grindstone’ and doing it ALL at all hours of the day. Because the fact of the matter is, having it all does not mean doing it all. Trantham offers easy-to-follow steps to be intentional about the work that you do and building an intentional life that we all want and deserve.”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Find Your Unicorn Space

“Beyond Getting By is a revolutionary finance book: It understands that money is never just about money. It will give you permission, and it will empower you. It will make you laugh and feel seen. And it will help you advocate for a raise as well as truly reconnect with what matters.”—Jessica Valenti, New York Times bestselling author of Sex Object

“Beyond Getting By will make you feel better, not worse, about your money and your life. It will help you make decisions that are in line with your values and also move you forward. I highly recommend it.”—Tiffany “the Budgetnista” Aliche, New York Times bestselling author of Get Good with Money

Enjoyable listen / maybe would have preferred the physical copy

If your a fan of their YouTube content you will probably find this a useful read. Just a little short for the price.

Attacked everything she disagrees with and it’s disempowering

Though it had good points, there were a lot of attacks on the system as it is. It also attacks several people and their theories or systems. I’d say half the book is like that.
Chelsea’s part is fluffed with unnecessary vocabulary. It bothered me because it sounded like she was trying to sound important, as opposed to the importance of the message.
Too expensive to recommend, there are better books out there. And it’s too bad because I like supporting women.
