Broke to Balanced
The No-Shame Guide to Getting Your Money TogetherBy Adrian West
Length1h 46m
About this audiobook
You Googled "how to get my money together" and got a lecture about lattes or a pitch for the latest crypto. Meanwhile your paycheck still disappears faster than you can explain, and you are tired of feeling behind and ashamed about it.
Broke to Balanced is the no-shame guide to sorting out your finances. It starts from the idea that you are not bad with money, then shows you where your money actually goes and helps you build a simple system of automated decisions rather than a rigid budget. You will look at debt without moral judgment, put together a savings starter kit, and understand how credit scores really work. A chapter on investing is written for people who assume it is not for them, and others cover the income side, how money affects your relationships, and how to stay on track once the first burst of motivation fades.
Balanced does not mean perfect. It means the stress is manageable and the direction is right.
