Join TikTok star Michela Allocca (@BreakYourBudget) for a crash course in everything personal finance.
In Own Your Money, Michela shares all the tools you need to manage, save, invest, and set a routine to improve your financial life. You'll find chapters for:
- Budgeting: Don't make it a dreaded B-word! Learn about various strategies including 50/30/20, zero-based, and 3-bucket budgets.
- How to save: It's all about being SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound).
- How to spend money: That's right, a plan for spending is important too! With a quick analysis of values and priorities, you can spend without feeling guilt-yes, even on fancy coffee.
- Investing: Learn the difference between 401ks and IRAs, investment types from index funds to target date funds, and relate it all back to core concepts in investing (like diversification).
- Jobs and careers: If your dream job doesn't exist, join the club! Learn how to find satisfaction through the tasks you want to do, networking, and career pivots.
- Increase your earning potential: Set yourself up for a raise/promotion, negotiate a job offer, and figure out if a side hustle is right for you.
With illustrations, helpful charts and graphics, and templates to help you plan, this is a book that's meant to partner with you to achieve your financial goals.
