Broke Millennial
by Erin Lowry
A no-judgment guide to getting your finances together for the first time. Erin Lowry meets young people exactly where they are — anxious, confused, and avoiding their bank account — and walks them through the basics without condescension. The best first personal finance book for anyone who finds money overwhelming.
