I highly recommend it for everyone - not just millennials!”

“Money conversations aren't the sexiest tactic in Personal Finance, but they're fundamental to reaching your financial goals. If you've been stalling, this book takes 'I don't know where to start' off the table. If you've ever frantically texted your Group Chat in search of the right words to react to an awkward situation with money, this is the book for you. Read it if you want to stop adding layers of cringe to already-awkward moments because you don't know what to say. The scripts offered in Broke Millennial Talks Money aren't abstract or colorless. They're the kind of insights that can only come from thousands of thoughtful interactions over time. I walked away from it feeling seen. I was able to recognize my own conversational shortcomings and gain a greater appreciation for the struggles that everyone faces. There's no shortage of tips and tricks to get unstuck regarding financial goals, but a productive conversation remains unmatched. I'll be referencing this book every time I need to get out of my own head and just talk!”
