THINK LIKE A BREADWINNER

A Wealth-Building Manifesto for Women Who Want to Earn More (and Worry Less)

By Jennifer Barrett

Nearly half of working women in the U.S. are their household’s main breadwinner. Yet most women still aren’t being brought up to think like breadwinners. In fact, we're discouraged–by institutional bias and cultural conditioning–from building our own wealth, pursuing our full earning potential, and providing for ourselves and others financially. The result is that women overall earn less, owe more, and have significantly less money saved and invested for the future than men do. And if we do end up the main breadwinner, we often feel reluctant and unprepared to manage the role.

In Think Like a Breadwinner, financial expert Jennifer Barrett reframes what it means to be a breadwinner. By dismantling the narrative that women don’t—and shouldn’t—take financial responsibility to create the lives they want, she reveals not just the importance of women building their own wealth but the freedom and power that comes with it, whether we end up the main earner in a relationship or not. With practical tools, and insights from her own journey, Jennifer encourages women to embrace, and rejoice in, breadwinning like never before.
