Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life by Vivian Tu

Book Description:

When Vivian Tu started working on Wall Street fresh from undergrad, all she knew was that she was making more money than she had ever seen in her life. But it wasn’t until she found a mentor of her own on the trading floor that she began to understand what wealthy people knew intuitively—the secrets to beating the proverbial financial game that has, for too long, been male, pale, and stale.

Building on the lessons she learned on Wall Street about money and the markets, Vivian now offers her best personal finance tips and tricks to readers of all ages and demographics, so that anyone can get rich, whether you grew up knowing the rules to the game or not. Vivian will be your mentor, dispensing fresh, no-BS advice on how to think like a rich person and create smart money habits.

Rich AF will equip readers with the tools and knowledge to not only understand the financial landscape, but to build a financial strategy of their own. And with Your Rich BFF at your side, you’ll be able to start your financial journey already in an affluent mindset, making the most of your money and growing your wealth for years to come.

You’ve mastered the basics of becoming Rich AF. Your bills are paid, your loans are shrinking, and you’ve even started saving. But what’s next? Every dollar you spend—or don’t spend—is a choice that shapes your future. How do you balance today’s dreams with tomorrow’s security?

In this fun, practical roadmap, Vivian Tu shows you how to strategically spend, directing your cash toward what matters most while positioning yourself to grow real, lasting wealth.

My Take:

SK Book Review - Rich BFF Duo by Vivian Tu Review Graphic

Filled with real, actionable advice, both books are very helpful for anyone (male or female) to gain control of their finances.

These were some of the best financial education books I’ve picked up. Rather than vaguely telling you to save money (skip the avocado toast!) and invest in the stock market, these books work great together to get your finances sorted out and then how to move forward with future planning. Throughout both books are checklists, questions to ask yourself, and instructions on who to check in with and how.

Written as if you are sitting down with your best friend for coffee or drinks, who just happens to be filled with useful financial information.

The language throughout both books are very conversational and open. You do not feel attacked or stupid for not knowing what you don’t know. Vivian’s advice comes as if from a friend who just wants the best for you while also recognizing that some of this is very hard.

The Final Verdict
