The Female Investor: Creating Wealth, Security & Freedom Through Property written by New Zealander Nicola McDougall was released in Australia at the beginning of April and quickly became the most popular in its category. The book is now also available in New Zealand!
Nicola McDougall is a successful finance and property journalist, property investor, chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) and former editor of the Australian Property Investor magazine. She was born and raised in Christchurch and currently lives on the Sunshine Coast with her husband, Josh, and their rescue dog, Ellie.
The goal for writing The Female Investor was to help more women become financially independent and secure throughout their lives. It has had a great response and is currently more popular than Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Barefoot Investor in the finance and investing category in Australia.
“It’s a well-known fact that women are more likely to be less financially secure than men around the globe. Whether through an income pay gap, maternity leave, or a relationship breakdown, many women are forced to play financial catch-up throughout their lives. I wrote The Female Investor to assist women of all ages from around the world – from younger women just starting out in their careers to someone who may have found themselves single again in their 40s or 50s. TFI features information that is relevant no matter where you live, plus, one of the main goals of the book was simply to inspire, encourage, and motivate women to take charge of their financial futures so that they have more choices later on in life.”
“It’s not easy balancing a career, dating, a family, and a thriving personal life, all while saving for your future, but there are ways to maximise your income sooner to improve, and create, your very own financial freedom,” Nicola said. “I truly believe that The Female Investor will help women better their financial security and stand on their own two feet – and its popularity with readers on this side of the ditch certainly seems to show that it’s a book that has been long overdue.”
