NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New York Times best-selling author and America’s go-to money expert
Nicole Lapin announces the launch of THE MONEY SCHOOL, a 12-week personal finance course that expands on the lessons in her wildly
popular book Rich Bitch, A Simple 12-Step Plan to Get Your Financial Life Together…Finally.
THE MONEY SCHOOL is made up of comprehensive but jargon-free video lessons, taught by Lapin, that show students practical ways
to take control of your finances. The course is broken down into easily-digested steps featuring actionable advice like creating a
“spending plan,” deciding whether to buy or rent a home, getting into investing and saving for retirement. The course also offers
supplementary tools, prescriptive quizzes, and an interactive, moderated online discussion board to help empower students along the
way.
“It’s a shame we don’t learn more about money in school,” explains Lapin. “But it’s no excuse for not being on top of your game.
I wanted to rethink not only what we learn and how we learn it. Let’s be serious, we don’t have time for
textbooks. But, we also want to better themselves with the knowledge that conventional schooling didn’t offer. That’s where THE
MONEY SCHOOL comes in.”
THE MONEY SCHOOL is organized into three digestible modules with hours of exclusive video content, explainers, and workbooks. To
drill down on specific business topics like housing and investing, Lapin brings in industry leaders as guest “professors”
including, Dottie Herman, CEO of Douglas Elliman and Noah Kerner, CEO of Acorns.
“I created THE MONEY SCHOOL for those who want to get their financial lives together once and for all,” adds Lapin. “It’s
for those who want to go beyond what they read in my books but need help doing that. That’s what the course and community that
comes with it will do.”
In January, Lapin plans to follow up with the debut of THE BOSS SCHOOL, offering career lessons beyond those from her second
book Boss Bitch, A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career. In 2015, she started the
national conversation about women taking control of their money with the launch of instant New York Times bestseller Rich Bitch. Two years later she followed with Boss Bitch, a sassy and actionable
guide that encouraged those same women to find their most confident, savvy and ambitious self and be the boss of their lives and
careers.
Lapin got her start in finance at age eighteen on the floor of the stock exchange as a reporter for First Business
Network. She is known as being youngest anchor ever on CNN. She held the same title at CNBC where she anchored the early
morning show “Worldwide Exchange” and covering business topics for MSNBC and TODAY. Lapin has served as a
business anchor for Bloomberg TV and a special money correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. She won the
“Money Expert of the Year” competition for the second year in a row and is the first-ever female winner. Lapin is currently
the host of the business reality competition show Hatched on CBS. Her third book Becoming
Super Woman, which teaches women how to go from burnout to balance, launches next year.
Membership to THE MONEY SCHOOL starts at $299. For more information or to sign up, please visit www.themoneyschool.com or www.nicolelapin.com.
