Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck and Get Your Financial Life Together (#GYFLT)!
If you’re a cash-strapped 20- or 30-something, it’s easy to get freaked out by finances. But you’re not doomed to spend your life drowning in debt or mystified by money. It’s time to stop scraping by and take control of your money and your life with this savvy and smart guide.
Broke Millennial shows step-by-step how to go from flat-broke to financial badass. Unlike most personal finance books out there, it doesn’t just cover boring stuff like credit card debt, investing, and dealing with the dreaded “B” word (budgeting). Financial expert Erin Lowry goes beyond the basics to tackle tricky money matters and situations most of us face #IRL, including:
- Understanding your relationship with moolah: do you treat it like a Tinder date or marriage material?
- Managing student loans without having a full-on panic attack
- What to do when you’re out with your crew and can’t afford to split the bill evenly
- How to get “financially naked” with your partner and find out his or her “number” (debt number, of course) . . . and much more.
Packed with refreshingly simple advice and hilarious true stories, Broke Millennial is the essential roadmap every financially clueless millennial needs to become a money master. So what are you waiting for? Let’s #GYFLT!

Just an okay book. I knew a lot of the things going in. I recommend for those who know nothing about how to save or pay off debt. Entertaining for sure.
I learned a ton from this book. I've never really had money of my own so, when I finally start making it I find myself inexperienced on what to do with it besides trying to live paycheck to paycheck. This book really goes through nicely on all the things that school and parents have failed to teach me about. (Seriously, personal finance should be taught in school!) Anyway, this might be a book I will check out again when I have more of finances in order to read the investing chapters again. Right now, I'm looking into switching saving accounts. Yes, read this book! I highly recommend!
Here is the one beef about the book that I do have is that the millennial lingo will not age well in the future. (At the same time I picked up the book because the title fits me perfectly!) Other than that the chapters are easy to read and all the other info will hold up. ~Ashley
