31-year-old Nancy Trejos was supposed to be an expert on
handling her money - after all, she's the personal finance
columnist for one of the nation's leading newspapers, The
Washington Post. But a few months ago, she found herself in
her own dire financial straits. Faced with a mountain of
bills, debt, and no way to pay her rent, she was forced to
call her parents to ask them for a loan. That night was a
wake-up call - she vowed to get herself out of debt and into
financial solvency. In Hot Broke Messes, Trejos takes
readers along with her on her journey. She meets with a
financial planner and a therapist to deal with all the
issues young people face today - from credit card debt and
student loans, to impulse buying and emotional spending, to
the cost of having a social life, to buying a house with
someone during a potentially impermanent relationship and
more. Trejos learns what causes these problems in herself,
how she can fix them, and how she can pass that advice on to
other young people going through the same experiences. Even
better, she shows readers how they can address these
problems without completely giving up their lives - no "give
up your latte a day" type advice here! Trejos' personal and
unique voice, along with her experiences that everyone can
relate to, will lead readers to relatively painless
financial security.
