Summary

Tiffany Aliche—also known as The Budgetnista—has spent over 15 years helping millions of women take control of their money, rebuild after financial setbacks, and create lasting wealth. She’s the founder of the Live Richer Movement, a New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most trusted voices in personal finance—because she doesn’t just teach the theory… she’s lived the comeback.

Her book, Get Good With Money, now out in paperback, is a roadmap to what she calls financial wholeness—mastering the ten essential areas of your financial life, from budgeting and saving to investing and estate planning.

But in this conversation, we go deeper—and more current.

We talk about:

Why this economic moment feels different—even for high earners
What Tiffany learned from losing everything during the last recession—and how it shaped her approach today
The five foundational pillars everyone needs to revisit right now: budgeting, saving, debt, credit, and income
Why “the math isn’t mathing” for so many households—and what to do when cutting back isn’t enough
Creative, real-world ways to boost income (from renting assets to leveraging skills you already have)
And how to manage financial anxiety in a world that feels increasingly uncertain
