How To Be a Rich Old Lady! Author Talk with Amanda Holden.

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.

The author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady, Amanda Holden, invites you on a very fun, mildly unhinged romp through the worlds of personal finance and capitalism (and how they’ve failed us), the ongoing economic oppression of women, and how to build your weird, beautiful life anyway.

Amanda 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 25,000 students how to invest with radical clarity, accessibility, and joy.

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.

How to Be a Rich Old Lady is a step-by-step road map to financial freedom. Not for the sake of chasing numbers in a spreadsheet, but to build 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 will help you build a plan to greet her with confidence and genuine hope for tomorrow.

Bring your questions about money and your friends! This conversation will feel more like community and essential resource-sharing than a lecture about Roth IRAs.
