From a licensed attorney, finance expert, and TikTok powerhouse—learn how to navigate romantic relationships and money so you can pave your way to financial freedom.

Never Date a Broke Dude defines the Broke Dude as someone who is someone who is unable or unwilling to match their partner in ambition, drive, commitment, or work ethic, regardless of gender or how much money the person makes. Pattie Ehsaei shares tales that range from trapped trophy wives and the mistakes she’s dated to ayahuasca revelations and even murder-suicide—while parsing each life lesson into simple instructions on how to set our own money straight, and keep it that way.

This four-part playbook starts with the basic rules of romance and finance, then climbs from Money, through Work, to Power (or, Self-Worth), offering:
   ·A five account system to control your cash flow, pay off debt, fix your credit, and start investing with just $100;
   ·Realistic career advice on how to dress well (and yes, fund your own wardrobe), work with confidence, choose the right retirement account, negotiate raises; and
   ·Rules to navigate finances in dating and long term-relationships—like who pays the bill, how to prevent and/or exit financial abuse, what can and can’t be in a pre-nup, options for children’s savings accounts, and more.

This book meets us right where we are. We’re not trying to be trillionaires. What we need is the lifelong safety net of financial freedom. Never Date a Broke Dude is an entertaining, game-changing read, a manual designed for making sure your money remains your own.
