Geek to Wealth: Fintech, Investing, and Personal Finance for Tech-Savvy Women

At the heart of this site is fintech, technology-driven financial services that make investing and banking simpler, faster, and more accessible. Also known as financial technology, it’s what powers the apps you use to invest, save, and track your money without a bank branch in sight. You’ll find clear breakdowns of how robo-advisors, automated platforms that build and manage diversified portfolios based on your goals actually work—no fluff, no hype. Whether you’re comparing tax-loss harvesting rules at Betterment or deciding if SoFi’s all-in-one app fits your life, these tools are designed for real people, not Wall Street insiders.

And it’s not just about investing. Your emergency fund, the cash buffer that stops a surprise bill from derailing your financial progress needs more than a vague rule of thumb. We show you how to calculate exactly how much you need based on your income, bills, and risks. From bond ladders that steady your income to behavioral biases that cost you money, every post here cuts through the noise and gives you something you can use tomorrow.

What you’ll find below isn’t a random list of articles—it’s a toolkit. Whether you’re just starting out or fine-tuning your portfolio, you’ll walk away with actionable steps, not theory.
