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

    • Great Book for Beginners (and anyone else who needs help!)

I bought this book because I’m graduating from college this spring and need to start thinking seriously about my future. From job hunting to apartment hunting and student loans to monthly bills, the prospect of adulting was terrifying. Asking my parents was out of the question. As much as I love them, they’re not what I would consider to be great financial role models. (Not to say they aren’t great role models, but finance isn’t one of their biggest strengths!) I scoured the internet for advice and tips and eventually found Broke Millennial. What makes Broke Millennial so different and the reason why I chose to buy the book was because it’s aimed at people like me (aka twenty/thirty-something’s with little to no financial expertise). The topics Lowry covers are relevant to those in all walks of life. Her writing style is fun, witty, and personable while also being very informative. It’s like talking to the mom-friend who has her life together: you can ask her anything and she’s nonjudgmental. I also loved the way the book was set up. You don’t have to read the book chapter-by-chapter to understand what she talks about. All of the chapters cover different topics and only reference each other once in a while; you can read the chapters in any order you please. Overall, Lowry’s advice is relevant and laid out in an easy to understand format. I’ve already implemented some of her advice and it definitely works! I’ve already ordered her other book and will be reading it as soon as I’m done writing this review! Cheers! ... show more

    • Good book for the younger crowd.
Overall the book was good to learn the basics about real world financial advice. It's very simple stuff that anybody that's still in high school or college should definitely read. But as someone older, this is all old news.

    • Not a reader, burned through this in three days
I typically have a hard time finishing any book I start. NOT THIS ONE. I couldn't put it down, and while it called me out on some really poor habits that have put my finances in a really bad place, it did so kindly and I left it feeling really empowered. Not empty, "You can do it, yay! Go you!" empowered, but more "I can do this because I actually have an idea how to now, or at least where to start." It helped too that I was grinning and laughing out loud at least once or twice a page. A little of my story: I grew up with parents who'd been disabled since birth, barely able to support our small 3-person family on nothing but welfare, about $900-$1100 a month. I started working at 13, sometimes pulling three part-time jobs while in school, because the only way we could afford anything for me as I became a teenager is if I went out and earned the money. Now a 27-year-old, in seven short years since starting school I've amassed over $54,000 in debt, most of that in student loans but some in credit card debt - and that debt feels CRIPPLING. I've been focusing on MAKING things happen in life, literally no matter the cost and realize now thanks to this book that if I don't want to slip into bankruptcy I have to switch gears a little bit. I don't make a whole lot, have no familial support and live in a very expensive city, so despite starting to gain traction in my career this debt seemed like this inevitable, immovable beast I'd be forced to live with, forever holding me back from building any kind of wealth or breaking the cycle of poverty. This book makes those factors seem a little less heavy and a little more workable. The strategies listed in this book are incredibly helpful and attainable, just about regardless of where you're starting, and I find myself inspired and ready to slay the debt dragon and start making real progress toward my financial goals. Please read this book whether you are buried in debt, just have a few thousand dollars worth, or are completely debt free. You'll never look at your paycheck(s) the same way again! ... show more

    • Excellent read - educational and funny, for all levels of financial fluency
Personal finance is an uncomfortable topic for many. I work in the legal services industry where people are paid well and yet still lack basic financial discipline, with the end result that even after years of gruelling work people walk away with little to show for it (there is a general sense that money will always be forthcoming and that earnings will always go up). Erin Lowry's book is an engaging and honest look at how to form good habits no matter the size of your pay check, and how the decisions one makes today can seriously impact, for better or worse, financial security in the future. It's a rare feat to make a personal finance book highly readable - the author is able to do so by never talking down to the reader and offering up funny personal anecdotes. Regardless your level of insight into financial planning, there is something here for everyone. No doubt a bright future lies ahead for this gifted first time author. ... show more
