The Modern Woman’s Guide to Financial Red Flags

The Modern Woman’s Guide to Financial Red Flags

Know the signs. Protect your future.

Not every financial red flag looks dangerous at first. Sometimes it arrives as a request from someone you love, an opportunity that seems too good to miss, or the pressure to keep up appearances.

In The Modern Woman’s Guide to Financial Red Flags, Kelly Kent explores the warning signs women may overlook—and shows how to respond with greater clarity, confidence, and control.

Through relatable illustrative stories, checklists, reflection exercises, conversation scripts, and practical action plans, this book takes you from recognizing financial risks to protecting your money and building a more independent future.
