Description
You’re not broken. The system is just built backwards.
This book is for the person who’s done everything they were told—study hard, work harder, stay positive—and is still asking: Why does it feel like I’m always starting from zero?
Never Stay Broke is a clear, honest guide for figuring out what actually works when things aren’t working. It won’t promise millions or magic. It gives you a way forward—whether you need to make it to the next day, next week, next month, or the rest of your life without looking back.
It’s not about motivation. It’s not about mindset. It’s about movement—small, smart, stacked decisions that build into something you can stand on.
Inside, you’ll find:
• What to do when you have no time, no credit, and no help
• How to stretch what you have without shrinking your future
• How to turn one move into momentum, then turn that momentum into freedom
• How to stop feeling like you’re catching up, and start acting like you’re in control
No fluff. No pity. Just the truth about what it takes to move from survival to security—and beyond.
If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t keep living like this,” but didn’t know what to do next, start here.

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.
