Summary
She's back and she brought receipts! Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche is one of the most iconic voices in personal finance, and if you missed her first episode on YQD, it became the highest-watched episode in the show's history. Dead ass. So yeah, we had to bring her back. This time, Tiffany is opening up about EVERYTHING — from the $35,000 scam that left her broke and sleeping on her sister's couch, to building an eight-figure net worth, to why she's still learning how to stop giving her money away to people who didn't even ask for it. She also drops the full framework from her bestselling book Get Good With Money, now available in paperback, and why that book hits differently after everything she's been through personally. If you've ever felt like financial wellness was something that happened to other people, this episode is going to shift that for you.
