About this product
WASHINGTON POST “COLOR OF MONEY” BOOK CLUB PICK
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! Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say Broke Millennial is highly informative, approachable, and practical, with clear writing, relatable examples, and a witty tone. Several reviewers describe it as especially helpful for beginners learning budgeting, debt, and financial basics, though some mention the pacing can feel repetitive or that part of the advice is fairly basic.
Review blogs such as Fioney, Rockstar Finance, Amanda’s Book Corner, PocketSmith, and StoryGraph-style review pages generally echo the same pattern: the book is praised for being easy to understand, actionable, and nonjudgmental, with a strong fit for readers in their twenties and thirties who want a friendlier introduction to personal finance. A few reviewers note that more experienced readers may find some sections repetitive or introductory.
