You Need a Budget: The Proven System for Breaking the Paycheck-To-Paycheck Cycle, Getting Out of Debt, and Living the Life You Want by Jesse Mecham

3.0

The open layout of Jesse's budget recommendations are very refreshing after reading highly restrictive guru advice, but this book still coaches people who have extra money and need to better organize it. I didn't find this helpful in terms of offering solutions for our extremely bare bones income and high obligations budget. If you have extra money and want to know what to do with it, this is a great book. If you're wanting advice for your no frills, just trying to pay rent finances, I don't know if they write financial advice for us. If I can ever find that book, I'll definitely let you know about it.
