NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • 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.”

“No matter where you stand in your money journey, Get Good with Money has a lesson or two for you!”—Erin Lowry,bestselling author of the Broke Millennial series

Tiffany Aliche was a successful pre-school teacher with a healthy nest egg when a recession and advice from a shady advisor put her out of a job and into a huge financial hole. As she began to chart the path to her own financial rescue, the outline of her ten-step formula for attaining both financial security and peace of mind began to take shape. These principles have now helped more than one million women worldwide answer their most pressing financial questions: How to pay off debt? How to save money? How to build wealth?

Revealing this practical ten-step process for the first time in its entirety, Get Good with Money introduces the powerful concept of building wealth through financial wholeness: a realistic, achievable, and energizing alternative to get-rich-quick and over-complicated money management systems. With helpful checklists, worksheets, a tool kit of resources, and advanced advice from experts who Tiffany herself relies on (her “Budgetnista Boosters”), Get Good with Money gets crystal clear on the short-term actions that lead to long-term goals, including:

• A simple technique to determine your baseline or “noodle budget,” examine and systemize your expenses, and lay out a plan that allows you to say yes to your dreams.
• An assessment tool that helps you understand whether you have a “don't make enough” problem or a “spend too much” issue—as well as ways to fix both.
• Best practices for saving for a rainy day (aka job loss), a big-ticket item (a house, a trip, a car), and money that can be invested for your future.
• Detailed advice and action steps for taking charge of your credit score, maximizing bill-paying automation, savings and investing, and calculating your life, disability, and property insurance needs.
• Ways to protect your beneficiaries' future, and ensure that your financial wishes will stand the test of time.

An invaluable guide to cultivating good financial habits and making your money work for you, Get Good with Money will help you build a solid foundation for your life (and legacy) that’s rich in every way.

Title: Accessible, Actionable, Engaging, and Compassionate- everything I would expect from Tiffany
Review: Finally, something good came of 2020.Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche was born to teach. The brilliance of (all of) her work is that she's at once a forever pre-school teacher and a wildly successful entrepreneur. "Get Good with Money" is a demonstration of Tiffany's dedication to leading with vulnerability, centering faith in humanity, and dogged pursuit of her mission to help marginalized folks build wealth. This book is a lovely balance of roadmap to "financial wholeness" (NOT to be confused with "financial freedom") and a relatable memoir about her journey to rebuild her life after the 2008 recession and other misfortunes. Nothing preachy or condescending about it.Being a pre-school teacher, this is an engaging, accessible, and actionable guide to help folks at all stages of their careers. If someone shaming you into austerity hasn't helped you get your financial life in order (weird how that doesn't work long-term), then I highly recommend this as an alternative. "Get Good with Money" is a fabulous tool to help you develop skills and introspection on your way to creating sustainable change in your life.I feel like I've been on this journey with Tiffany and Mandy since I started listening to the Brown Ambition podcast, circa 2015? 2016? Whenever episode #10 dropped. They helped me recognize how I was being discounted and silenced at work as a woman of color. Tiffany's book arrived yesterday; I've since mowed through it, despite being a busy graduate student at an Ivy League university (an absolute dream that years of listening to the Brown Ambition podcast gave me the moxie to pursue!)Buy the book. It's a good investment in yourself.
