Headshots of Vivian Tu and Tori Dunlap

For most people, trying to be smart with money is a hurdle that isn’t going away anytime soon. And once you have a handle on the usual demands like bills, loans, and maybe even savings – what about the future? Long-term financial choices can be daunting and confusing, and isn’t wealth management advice for the already wealthy? How do everyday people balance today’s dreams and realities with tomorrow’s security?

Tailoring her years of expertise for modern generations, bestselling author and CEO Vivian Tu wants to deconstruct the traditional framework of financial literacy and show readers how to invest in a future that supports their real needs and wants. In her newest book, Well Endowed, the internet’s favorite money bestie seeks to show readers how to strategically spend, directing cash toward what matters most while positioning themselves to grow real, lasting wealth. This fun, practical roadmap aims to weigh in on all the big topics, addressing questions like:

Should I rent or buy a home? What about my car – do I finance, lease, or buy? Should I get life insurance? What about pet insurance or renters’ insurance? How much should I be setting aside for retirement, and do I really need a prenup? Is generational wealth something I can actually work towards for my family?

Picking up where her first book left off, Tu breaks down the biggest financial decisions of your late twenties, thirties, and beyond, striving to teach you how to align your spending with your values, goals, and the legacy you hope to leave. Pulling from lessons learned as a former Wall Street trader and blending them with the honesty of your best friend, Tu expands on the basics of personal finance to present a smart, relatable guide for creating lasting stability for yourself and your loved ones. Well Endowed aims to make your money work harder so you can live richer in every sense.
