Get Good with Money: Ten Simple Steps to Becoming Financially Whole

A ten-step plan for finding peace, safety, and harmony with your money--no matter how big or small your goals and no matter how rocky the market might be--by the inspiring and savvy "Budgetnista."

Tiffany Aliche was a successful preschool teacher with a nice nest egg when the 2008 recession and a series of bad decisions put her out of a job and in a big financial hole. Existing financial advice didn't resonate with her--she didn't want to be a millionaire tomorrow, she simply wanted to get her financial house in order! As she began to devise her own financial rescue, she discovered that she could help others avoid the same pitfalls. By coaching groups of women through online "Live Richer Challenges," the Budgetnista--her lively and relatable online presence--was born. Essentially, she was back in the classroom, this time helping other women get good with money.

Introducing the powerful idea of striving for financial wholeness instead of early retirement or millionaire status, Get Good with Money guides us through the ten short-term steps that lead to long-term security. From the simple (best practices for budgeting and saving) to the more sophisticated (investing, taking charge of your credit score, and calculating your insurance needs), Tiffany Aliche shares memorable stories, actionable lists and worksheets, and a you-got-this attitude, ensuring that we can build a solid foundation for a life that's rich in every way.
