I’m definitely not a numbers person and would laugh if someone asked me to read a book about finances, but Tiffany Aliche does an amazing job breaking down 10 simple steps to becoming financially whole in Get Good With Money.
By sharing her personal mistakes and life anecdotes, @thebudgetnista provides readers with helpful life guidance about achieving your financial goals and building wealth. She provides practical and realistic advice, like how to improve your credit score or how to build a successful side hustle. Her book is funny and easy-to-digest, and she doesn’t make you feel ashamed or overwhelmed along the way. She’s also a fellow Jersey girl!
If you’re looking for some realistic and attainable tips and tricks about money and finances, I highly recommend picking this one up!

I follow the author on instagram and it is rare to find a finance book written by a Black author. It's easy to read, informative, and comprehensive. I liked most how this book was organized with each of the 10 steps getting their own chapter (each step = 10% x 10 chapters = 100% financially whole). Chapters like “how to pay off your student loans,” “how to build up your net worth,” and “how to start investing effectively.”
No matter what budgetting/finance book I pick up, there is always something that bothers me. This one includes the standard advice of increasing your wealth by asking for a raise at work or starting a side hustle (ie. get a 2nd job!!!) I really dislike this advice because it is so impractical for most of us. There is also a whole chapter that is useless for me centered on various insurances you should know about and invest in.
Still I'm glad I read it but would caution those that get bothered by certain standard finance talking points. Just skip around to the chapters that most fit your needs and interests. I will be looking at the worksheets at the back of the book though just to reinforce the things I learned.

A great starter finance book for people that is well paced and grounded. Tiffany shares her own financial pitfalls and teaches that mistakes fiscal happen and how to grow from them.

Great advice, good action items, but still skims over the whole "What if I make zero money dollars" issue.
