Money, love, friendship, investment portfolios-The Smart Money Tribe is back! Zuri, Tami, Lara, Adesuwa and Ladun are faced with new challenges in this phase of their lives. From the hustle and bustle of Lagos, to cosmopolitan London, and the glamour of Cape town, through their individual stories we see how effective the collaborative power of women can be in building wealth.
Have you ever wished a book will not end, so you intentionally feed yourself a page or two at a time? That's how I felt about this book! Every chapter should be considered a book on its own due to the rich content. I absolutely love and recommend this book to you.
Building on the story in the first book, the author gave more insights into topics such as financial abuse, taking emotional decisions when money is involved, intrapreneurship, negotiation, building your portfolio and more.
Comes highly recommended although I think you might have to read the first one to understand some issues discussed in this book.
A super fun read. Breaking down financial concepts in easy to understand and relatable terms. Even if you’re pretty good with your personal finances, the stories will remind you to do stuff you’ve maybe been putting off. Would definitely recommend.
The book gives a 'you can do it' mentality across all characters from Tami, who did a 360 from being fully dependent on Daddy's money, to Zuri, the spendaholic who still makes financial mistakes like buying a Birkin bag she shouldn't be able to afford but still manages to stay on track with her financial health, of course, a bonus to her is Tsola who buys stocks for her as gifts (boyfriend of the year 🙌🏾). Then, there's Adesuwa with Soji drama and Lara, Gee of all time - losing her mum, losing her job, going broke and in debt but not breaking sweat! My ideal fantasy money tribe. Arese makes the financial hurdles they all go through in to lessons that encourage readers to reach for a financial health that is disciplined and yet allows a few splurges. Well done, Arese.

This book is a must read! Irrespective of age and financial strength. If you've read "Smart money woman", you'll probably have an idea of how much of a masterpiece it is. There are so many books on how to handle personal finances but Arese brings it home with this one. Especially for African women. In this book you discover the importance of valuable friendships and hopefully understand that your network doesn't necessarily equate your net worth if you're not banking on it. A very good read. I enjoyed every bit of it.
I thought life would be easier when you get a promotion, or marry into a wealthy family, mingle with the creme de la creme of society. but this book opens my eyes to see that managing finances is should be learnt irrespective of social class or how much money you have. Finance management is a must have skill. I love how this books relates with our normal lives. I LOVEEE THIS BOOK. A sequel pleaseee
This is a book that I believe everyone should read, be you man or woman. It is presented in a story format but I personally consider it a financial text. It addresses a lot of finance related issues, issues one wouldn't even know is an issue. My only hope is that more people get to know about the book so they can improve their finances.
This is a very interesting book with a practical guide to how one can manage their financial resources. It's very easy to identify with the characters and place yourself in their positions as they are relatable.
