Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping by and Get Your Financial Life Together by Erin Lowry
Did not finish book.
This was my second attempt to read this book and it’s just NOT GOOD.
The thing that bothered me the most was the author’s habit of constantly referring back to other chapters in the MOST obnoxious way. For example, mentioning a Financial Planner, and telling the reader to refer to chapter 17. Expect she does it EVERY SINGLE TIME a finance concept comes up. And not every FIRST time. Every. Time.
The writing itself is incredibly cringy. It felt infantilizing, honestly, like the author thought she was talking to someone with half a brain. Also, stop talking about participation trophies. We millennials are so tired of hearing about participation trophies, even amongst ourselves. It’s a cheap joke and I hate it.
