This book didn't sugarcoat things, and I appreciate that! A useful guide for the vast majority of us who didn't grow up in well-off families and therefore didn't learn financial advice beyond survival mode.

Exactly the Wake-Up Call I Needed - Never Stay Broke didn’t try to hype me up—it just told the truth. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. The book gives real advice for people like me who feel like they’re stuck in a loop no matter how hard they try. I appreciated how it broke down next steps without judgment or fluff—just straight talk that made me feel more in control. It reminded me that even if I can’t change everything overnight, I can always make the next move count. Honestly, I read it in one sitting and felt lighter afterward.

A Grounded, No-Nonsense Financial Strategy for Real Life

Never Stay Broke is an incredibly relevant read for professionals facing financial setbacks, transitions, or just the relentless grind of trying to “get ahead” in an upside-down system. This book doesn’t preach hustle culture or offer vague inspiration—it provides a highly practical framework for making meaningful progress, especially when you’re operating under pressure. As someone who coaches early-career professionals, I found its emphasis on small, strategic movement particularly valuable. It’s empowering, actionable, and refreshingly honest. I’ve already recommended it to my team and added it to our resource list.

If you're tired of pep talks and need a no-nonsense playbook for real-life survival (like, “rent's due tomorrow” survival), Never Stay Broke is your tough-love, take-action wake-up call—and yes, it actually works.
