Rich Mom, Poor Mom

A daughter grows up watching two mothers. Her own, Angela, taught school, then stayed home, made everything from scratch, and still asks her husband whether they can afford things. Her best friend’s mother, Elena, founded a food company and taught her kids compound interest before they could ride a bike. As an adult she goes back to both. Tuesdays are lemon muffins in her mother’s kitchen. Other days are Elena’s house, where a group of women run their businesses from laptops at the kitchen island and the family budget is on a whiteboard next to the espresso machine. She does not tell her mother who the new friend is. Then her mother asks to meet her. Written as an answer to Rich Dad Poor Dad: what that book left out about mothers, unpaid work and money. Each chapter ends with a Rich Mom Rule, a journal prompt and a money tip, and there is a reading list at the back. Twenty-three chapters, about 14,600 words. The Preface, the Prologue and Chapter One are free to read.
