About The Financial Diet

The Financial Diet started in late 2014 as a personal blog by founder Chelsea Fagan to track her own budget. TFD has since grown into a cross-platform media company and the premier digital destination for young women looking to talk about money. We are all about helping you rethink your relationship with money, culture, and class.

From our Manhattan offices, our all-women team works every day leading the conversation around personal finance, and bringing together everything from expert advice on the complexities of financial planning to personal narratives from everyday women reclaiming their relationship with money, and how it intersects with every element of their lives.

Our mission is to fundamentally change and improve the way we talk about money, to take it from something shameful or intimidating into something we can all feel confident about.

Beyond Getting By is a spiritual follow-up to our first book, The Financial Diet: A Total Beginner’s Guide to Getting Good with Money.
