Marrakech – The Netflix series “Smart Money Woman” is a series that isn’t just entertainment; it’s a beacon of financial enlightenment in a sea of scripted dramas.
Inspired by the best-selling novel of the same name by Arese Ugwu, “Smart Money Woman” follows the lives of five diverse and dynamic women as they navigate the complexities of career, relationships, and most importantly, personal finance in the vibrant city of Lagos.

However, beneath her designer clothes and luxury lifestyle lies a woman grappling with debt, overspending, and the pressure to maintain appearances.
Through Zuri’s journey, viewers are not only entertained but also educated on the importance of financial literacy and planning for the future. But Zuri is not alone in her quest for financial freedom.
She is joined by her equally compelling friends. These include Tami; an aspiring fashion entrepreneur with a penchant for overspending, a Lara; a corporate powerhouse torn between climbing the corporate ladder and starting a family, Adesuwa; a no-nonsense lawyer navigating the intricacies of love and money and Ladun; a socialite with a hidden talent for financial management.
What sets “Smart Money Woman” apart from other series is its unapologetic approach to tackling taboo topics surrounding
money, particularly in a culture where discussing finances openly is often frowned upon.
From credit card debt to investment strategies, the series fearlessly delves into the nitty-gritty of personal finance, making it accessible and relatable to viewers of all backgrounds.
On X (formerly Twitter), a user recently shared their thoughts on the new Netflix series expressing, ” “ that it is “all the financial advice you need but won’t sit down and read. I really recommend it.”

Through compelling storytelling and realistic scenarios, viewers are not only entertained but also inspired to take charge of their financial destinies.
Whether it’s negotiating a salary raise, starting a side hustle, or simply creating a budget, the series empowers its audience to make smarter money decisions.
Of course, no Nigerian drama would be complete without a healthy dose of romance and intrigue, and “Smart Money Woman” delivers on both fronts.
From love triangles to power struggles, the series keeps viewers on the edge of their seats while imparting valuable lessons about the intersection of love and money.
In a society where wealth is often equated with success, “Smart Money Woman” serves as a much-needed reminder that true financial empowerment comes from knowledge and discipline, not flashy possessions or social status.
