Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping by and Get Your Financial Life Together by Erin Lowry
3.0
I definitely got some valuable ideas/information from this book, but I found the author to be over the top with the advice she was giving considering the target market.
For example, she mentions about taking out a personal loan to cover credit card debt if the interest rate works out better. I wouldn't advise that to someone who is a "broke millennial". She did say this is only an option, but in my accounting course in the personal finance section the number one rule was always "never get debt to pay off debt".
The book in my opinion is a valuable resource, but the advice is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Always be careful and match your own personality/needs/abilities/wants/etc.
