The Savvy Investor
Learn everything you need to become a confident and competent savvy investor in three months.
Back in 2010 I took investment advice from a confident-sounding male colleague who said he had a “brilliant” investment idea. I ended up losing thousands of dollars.
I decided - never again. It was one of those critical moments in my life where I decided that I was going to take charge of my own finances and never blindly rely on a man again.
I created this course so others wouldn’t have to experience the same thing. If you:
Believe me, I get it. The financial services industry was created for men and by men.
Women invest less (and later) than men even though we’re better at it when we do.
When we don’t invest, we miss out on thousands, tens of thousands, and even millions of dollars over the course of our lifetimes that we could put towards our goals.
Investing is not something we learn about or can comfortably talk about with friends and family. It’s taboo.
We’re afraid of losing the money we worked hard for (especially given that we’re already paid less for the same work!).
I’m here to change that.
The Savvy Investor Course is a three month program that will equip you with everything you need to know to start investing and have your money work for you. I’m here to make the process simple, approachable, and fun.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
+ The confidence and knowledge to invest your money and have it start working for you (no prior investing knowledge necessary - I give you everything you need to know step-by-step!)
+ An understanding of the various investment options, socially responsible investing, how to choose and open up a brokerage account, everything you need to know about your 401(k), how to maintain your investments, and much more
+ Clarity and confidence in your financial decisions (no more taking advice from colleagues just because they sound like they know what they’re talking about)
+ Increased earnings. Investing can earn you thousands, tens of thousands and even millions of dollars over the course of your lifetime
+ Tools and skills for short-term actions and long-term investments
WHAT YOU GET and how it works:

Why me?
Since I started the Fiscal Femme in 2012, I’ve helped thousands of people feel financially confident, achieve some major financial goals and destress their money. I’ve given workshops and keynotes at companies like Google, LinkedIn, and Bacardi and my work has been featured in CNBC, Forbes, Glamour, and The New York Times.
My first book, The 30-Day Money Cleanse, was named Best Business Book of the Year (so far!) and Publishers’ Weekly called it a “cheery and easy-to-follow guide” for “developing good financial habits and dealing fearlessly with personal finances.”
But I think the most telling of all is what people who have worked with me and taken my programs are saying:
“A MUST for all! Ashley makes learning about investing fun and exciting with the Savvy Investor Course. The exercises have given me a perfect foundation to step into the investing world with confidence. Since I completed the course, I have a couple of profitable brokerage accounts and an IRA! Had I not taken this course 3 years ago, I probably would still be comparing brokerage accounts at 2 am with zero actual contributions. Thanks a million(bucks) Ashley! Here’s to the future! :)”
“I loved taking the Fiscal Femme’s Savvy Investor course! I FINALLY understand investing (something that has always been so confusing to me) and with Ashley’s help, I purchased my first investment (now I have an entire diversified portfolio!) and opened a RothIRA. I now feel more financially in control than ever and I couldn’t be happier with these new investments.”

Hi, I’m Ashley.
Confession: I really struggled with managing my money for a long time, even though I worked as an investment banker and had a finance degree!
Yep. Back in the day, I was working in the financial space, crunching numbers and dealing with budgets on a daily basis. And I was making a great salary, too.
Sounds like the beginning of a millennial fairytale-come-true, right?
Wrong.
While you’d think someone with a degree in finance and multiple years in the financial trenches would know a thing (or 20) about managing money, at the end of the day–aka the end of my investment banking stint–I didn’t have anything to show for it.
I justified my overspending by telling myself I was working so hard, I deserved to splurge! What’s a margarita here or a mimosa there?
Unfortunately, those margaritas and mimosas do add up. And despite all my experience, I didn’t actually know how to make smart money decisions for my own life.
The bright side? I knew my relationship with money needed a MAJOR change if it was ever going to work.
Flash forward to today: I’m the founder and CEO of the Fiscal Femme, as well as an an author, money coach, and feminist who is on a mission to end inequality through financial well-being. I’ve read more books on money than I care to count and have helped thousands of people transform their financial wellness.
FAQ
Why Should I spend money to save money?
This is my favorite question and believe me, I get the irony. In the case of the Savvy Investor Course, you’re taking a class to learn to grow your money. You’re paying to learn something that will earn you thousands, tens of thousands, if not millions more dollars in your lifetime. The math works :)
Also, when we pay for something, we’re invested. We show up fully and we get results. I saw this when I raised prices on my first course. The participants’ results skyrocketed. They were saving hundreds more and that made the value of the course increase exponentially - for them.
I’m a big believer in investing in experts to save us time, money and added stress. By setting up the systems and strategies provided in this course, you will make up the money thousands of times over via decreases in spending and increases in investments and income. Not to mention the more subjective benefits like happiness, peace of mind and reduced shame and guilt.
I’ve got a full life. What’s the time commitment?
To get the best results and follow along with the course blueprint, I recommend an hour and a half per week. You can break up that hour and a half however you’d like.
Can I retake the course?
Yes, you have lifetime unlimited access to the program.
Where do I take the course?
Everything is available in the online course portal. You’ll get a unique login to access it as soon as you purchase the course.
Can I take it on my own schedule?
Yes! You get to create your own schedule because it’s all online. You can access the course, anytime, anywhere and it’s completely go at your own pace.
