How Much Should You Spend on Financial Education Each Year?

Most women budget for Netflix, gym memberships, and vacations — but very few budget for financial education. And honestly? That’s backwards. Because money touches every single part of your life.

Why financial education matters:

  1. Your money decisions affect your freedom, relationships, career, and stress levels.
  2. The ROI on learning better money habits is often higher than almost any other investment.

How much should you spend?

A good rule of thumb: 1–3% of your annual income.

  1. Making $50,000? That’s $500–$1,500/year.
  2. Making $100,000? Think $1,000–$3,000/year.

This could cover a mix of:

  1. 1-on-1 coaching sessions
  2. Online courses (like our Anti-Budget Playbook)
  3. Books, workshops, or memberships

Why it pays off:

One of our clients, Maria, invested $297 in the Money Bitch Bootcamp and used what she learned to pay off $15,000 of debt within 18 months. That’s a 5,000% ROI.

When you think of financial education as an investment instead of an expense, it changes everything. You don’t ask “Can I afford this?” You ask, “What’s the cost of staying stuck?”
