Points deducted for advocating for hustle culture, but this book is clear and actionable while also being non condescending and even comforting at first. I would love to see this adapted into a curriculum for high school seniors / emerging adults. It’s a crime this stuff isn’t more widely known.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by your finances, if you've ever thought "I just need someone to sit down with me and walk me step by step through all of this", then this is the book for you! Aliche walks you from the very first steps of creating a budget all the way to making sure that your finances and loved ones are cared for after you are gone. The book is designed to be a series of very actionable steps, and Aliche holds your hand through every step. The language of the book is very "girlfriend-y", but the message applies to any gender. Definitely recommend!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. My thanks to author Tiffany "The Bedgetnista" Aliche, the publisher, and #NetGalley. #GetGoodWithMoney

I loved this book's layout and format. Aliche gives everything you need to know about finance in easily digestible chunks, which takes a lot of the fear and uncertainty out of it.

I love that a preschool teacher wrote a how to finance book. This is exactly the speed I need. I now have a financial to-do list, thanks to this book and feel empowered, not confused/dreading figuring some of this stuff out.

Hands down the best money book I've read (and I've read a lot!). I am listening to the audiobook and have it at 1.3 x for the speed because it is read a little slower than I like to listen. It's a long one but she covers a ton of important topics and it is all very digestible.

A really good starting way to approach how to handle and think about your money. Definitely reassured that what I’m currently doing with my money is good, and I 100% recommend everyone to read this. She gives insight and advise on what you should be looking for with your insurance/investments/401K etc, and I will be referring back to this book as reference going forward.

Book Type:
-Physical book
Would I recommend?:
-Absolutely! I recommend this book for folks new to finances or who need a stepping stone journey of recommendations
Things I liked:
-SO MANY THINGS!
-This book helped normalize my feelings of guilt and shame toward my finances, helped me feel empowered, and helped me come up with a game plan for the future.
-I can’t stop thinking and talking about the book’s recommendations to my friends
-The book’s lessons felt applicable beyond finances! It also helped me feel less overwhelmed about my future and reminded me to live more by my values and less by my whims.
-I will likely be reading and rereading this book year by year as I continue on my path to financial wholeness.
Things I disliked:
-It took me a little bit of time to adapt to the author’s style, but as soon as I started feeling stressed about finances (Chapter 1? 2?), her style was perfect, soothing, and exactly what I needed.
-I struggled to understand and figure out how to implement the recommendation to search for a side job (Chapter 6, I think?). I am not sure if this is just where I am at right now (working long hours and feeling burnt out) or if I would recommend changes to the chapter?
