Buy What You Love Without Going Broke - Transform Your Spending and Get More of What Money Can't Buy

A relatable personal finance guide that gives a fresh take on how to control your impulse spending so you can stick to a budget and pay off debt, without the guilt and shame of traditional financial advice-from the hosts of the beloved Frugal Friends podcast.

There's a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money. But what if you made financial decisions based on what you value-instead of what others are telling you to value?

This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that's a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don't value everything.

The Frugal Friends' wisdom comes from personal experience: Jen paid off $78,000 of debt in two years without a six-figure income, while Jill has a background in social w ork and downsized to an RV to pay off student loans. Together, their advice is both relatable and actionable.

In their debut book, they share a plan for sifting through what's not important to find the things you truly love spending money on. You'll learn how to
Analyze your current spending and identify what you valuePrioritize your values when you can't afford everythingIdentify the root causes of your impulse spendingMake your habit changes stick long-term
From credit card and student loan debt to the rising costs of childcare and homes; it has never been more important to get control of your spending. Jen and Jill show you how to do it in a way that's healthy, not shameful, while exploring topics like overconsumption, self-worth, and the insidious history behind our consumption-obsessed culture.

If you want to reach your goals and feel good about your finances, Buy What You Love Without Going Broke offers a holistic approach to reshape the way you think abo ut spending money.
