"The Girlboss came in many forms, and she struggled valiantly against the rising wave of exhaustion at her brand of pinkwashed-capitalism-as-liberation--but it's fair to say that we can finally put her to rest. Yes, money is essential to life, and managing it well is often the difference between freedom and constraint. But once you have enough of it, the focus should be on converting that money 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 will teach you how to create (and pay for) a life you truly enjoy--and that you can also be proud of. They will show you how to push beyond what society tells you will make you happy to determine what you actually want. Featuring specific advice and interactive exercises on: How to define your own budget philosophy by no longer chasing fast fashion and Instagram-worthy vacation destinations and 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 journey in order to kill it in that next raise negotiation; How to stave off burnout by treating your personal life with as much care as your career, in addition to figuring out the true value of your time--and your specific freelance rate. Beyond Getting By is for the woman interested in transitioning to a life where money is simply a tool, and never a reflection of her worth. It's for the woman who understands the limits gamifying personal finance, and that simply following trends isn't the same as creating a sustainable, wealth-generating plan for the future"-- Provided by publisher
