Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Do you ever wish you were one of those people with smart financial goals and plans for achieving them? It’s easier than you think—because the Budgetnista is here to help. In this fantastic guide, social-media star Tiffany Aliche lays out a rock-solid plan to improve anyone’s money situation. In 10 digestible sections, she covers everything from Budgeting 101 to estate planning. Aliche does not peddle in jargon-heavy schemes designed for experts. A former preschool teacher, she brings an enthusiastic, friendly, and commonsense approach to tasks that can feel overwhelming, such as developing and maintaining an investment portfolio. We’ve already adopted Aiche’s phrase “noodle budget”—how much money you would need for your monthly expenses if you only ate college-dorm-level ramen—which helped us find a balance between saving money and allowing ourselves small indulgences. Getting Good with Money will help you “get your savings on” with a smile on your face.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fixing one's finances is a lot of work, but it's worth it every time, cheerleads financial educator Aliche (The One Week Budget) in this encouraging guide to "financial wholeness." Being financially whole, Aliche writes, means having a "plan for each area of your finances so that they are constantly working on your behalf, regardless of where you currently are in life." Aliche divides her advice into 10 topics—budgeting, saving, digging out of debt, etc.—and for each shares steps for planning and executing: one chapter shows how to create and maintain a budget, and breaks down the steps to accomplish it. While topics such as investing and planning one's estate are familiar, Aliche's guidance shines in the practical, spirited advice: "My plan shifts your mindset to one of savings being a tool to help you weather a financial storm," she writes. Aliche addresses the emotional side of money, as well, and urges readers to "focus on the solution" and make the fixes they need to achieve financial freedom. Aliche's can-do attitude makes this an excellent primer for anyone looking to improve their financial picture.

A TRUE MIRACLE DIET
Miracle diets always start with “I lost an unheard of amount of weight within a week.“
This great book by Tiffany Alliche, aka “The Budgetnista,” is like that but with your DEBT. Pre publication of Get Good With Money, I took advantage of Tiffany’s program, Live Richer Academy; and, within less than one month of following this budget program, I literally lost $2000 in debt, and gained $1000 in an emergency savings.
Tiffany’s book, which is a compilation of her LRA program, is detailed and yet easy to understand for those who have had trouble creating and maintaining a budget and money goals. More importantly, the advice and lessons provided here will stay in the back of your mind, when, like myself, you may find yourself out impulse or stress shopping.
I had followed Dave Ramsey for years, but was never able to get the results I had with Tiffany’s information.
This is one small investment that will pay off immensely.
I’m on my way

Excellent!
