I am all about living within your means while still enjoying small indulgences, and Hot (broke) Messes: How to Have Your Latte and Drink It Too, by Nancy Trejos is a practical guide to doing just that.
Nancy is a personal finance columnist for The Washington Post , and while she was doling out financial advice to her readers, she was also struggling with debt.
Hypocritical? At the time, yes. But it makes Hot (broke) Messes that much more of a compelling tale knowing that the advice is based on personal experience.
As a reader, not only do we get advice about credit card debt, student loans, impulse buying and emotional spending, and how to have a social life on budget, but we also see Nancy’s journey from hot (broke) mess to financial security.
