Unlike many personal finance books, How to Manage Your Money When You Don’t Have Any was specifically written for Americans who struggle to make it on a monthly basis. It provides both a respectful, no-nonsense look at the difficult realities of life after the Great Recession and a hope-filled, easy to follow path toward better financial stability for even the most financially strapped households. Created by a financial expert who hasn’t struck it rich, How to Manage Your Money When You Don’t Have Any offers a first hand story of financial survival in the face of rough times. Rather than emphasizing wealth creation, How to Manage Your Money When You Don’t Have Any teaches readers to do the best they can with their income no matter its size. Content rich, personal, and jargon free, the book is opinionated and at times humorous. Full of current everyday references, it is meant to be a quick read which will appeal to the average reader just struggling to make ends meet.

No nonsense guide to finance. This guide gets to the point. It’s certainly not the most glamorous get rich quick or the get out of debt quick book. This book is realistic, and lists the precautions/actions you can take to avoid and get out of financial disasters.One of the major points in this book is avoiding expenses, even if you have a high income.
