About Us

Personal finance traditionally over-values the perspective of men (serving other wealthy men) in the financial industry and undervalues that of women and practical experience. This excludes women from financial education, and narrows financial education so it's less relevant to women. This exclusion is dramatically amplified for unmarried women and single moms. It’s wrong. And it hurts everyone, not just women. I’m the daughter of a single mom and was a single woman who married at nearly 40. After a lifetime on the receiving end of personal finance bias, I was (really) tired of being talked down to, misunderstood, ignored and shamed, and became a financial activist.

You can bring any money question to the AskFlossie community. We proactively focus on the hardest money moments: debt, death, divorce, tax season, and funemployment. We’re here for the hard stuff and financial crises, so you can turn them into an opportunity to thrive.

Nope. We’re as over it as you are. AskFlossie is here to empower women with community and knowledge. We will recommend low-cost services we have tested and truly love, and always disclose our relationships with them. But we’re not an investment platform, bank, or broker. Please tell us if you see anything dubious on our forums or site.
