Hot (broke) Messes: How to Have Your Latte and Drink It Too

I actually read a ton of personal finance books, but I skim them so I never log them on here. This one is different. I read it cover to cover (in one sitting last night). It reads like a memoir, so I was super interested. Trejos and I have some things in common (student loans, car payment, etc) and I could have skipped the credit card debt portion, but I hung in there because I actually wanted to hear how she handled it. This is a clearly explained book that I found to be fun to read and I learned some stuff I did not know.

That said, I wanted to smack her by the end for 1. mooching food off her friends instead of learning to prepare meals at home and 2.bitching about her weight and paying for cabs. So what seems obvious to one person, can be missed by another.

I think millennials and my generation need to read more books like this because many of us were set up to fail financially.
