Why read it?
5 authors picked Get Good with Money as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Much of my financial nonsense was taught, indirectly and directly, by my parents, family, and community members. Coming from a low-income and blue-collar working-class family, I am armed with a mentality toward poverty.
This book was written in plain language about saving, budgeting, investing, and wealth building. The steps were practical and easy enough for me to implement. Because of this book, I have a plan for my money; I know exactly where it goes, and I am an investor. These are no longer things I thought were reserved for white people.

I have been following Tiffany’s overnight success, which was 10 years in the making, and was excited to read her first money book. I wasn’t surprised the book focuses on a holistic approach to personal finances by using the word financial wholeness.
Although the book is written primarily for women of color, I still got so much out of it because it was easily laid out and covered every essential area of finance. I especially like hearing Tiffany’s voice and feeling her infectious energy leap off the pages.
From Jason's list on financial wellness books with a holistic approach.
This book helps readers become financially “whole” by providing practical guidance, dos and don’ts, and action items. One of my favorite parts about the book was the author’s discussion on insurance. Before reading this book, I found much of the conversation around the various insurances to be overwhelming, muddled, and quite “salesy.” In this book, the author breaks down the importance of determining your insurance needs, selecting the right policies for you, and understanding specifics about health, life, disability, and property insurance. I also enjoyed the author’s discussion on selecting financial professionals, including practical advice on choosing accountants, financial advisors,…

Get Good with Money has all the practical advice you need to start tracking your spending, reducing your debt, saving, and (eventually) building your wealth. What sets it apart is the tone. Aliche, a former preschool teacher, has both personal experience with financial stress and the clear voice that comes from time in a classroom with young kids. When you read this book, you feel as if you are having a talk with a friend, not a stern judge or an out-of-reach educator. It is also very methodical and well thought out, and the structure makes it easy for you…
From Kelley's list on personal finance for women.
Tiffany Aliche’s (aka the Budgetnista) book, Get Good With Money, looks at financial wholeness or the ten pieces of our finances we need to know and understand for financial well-being. It’s a holistic guide that is enriched (pun intended) by her storytelling and humor. Spoiler alert: I interviewed her and a few other authors on this list for my own book, so you’ll see their wisdom shared throughout!
