Broke Millennial Takes On Investing is the beginning investing book youve been waiting for. Not only does she break down investing terms, but she also explains the why in a way that will resonate with millennials and non-millennials alike. What most impressed me is Erins ability to explain how to invest in a way that is easy to understand and implement. As a former preschool teacher turned financial educator, I can say that this book has all the hallmarks of a great, transformative read. If youre starting your investing journey, bring this book along with you.
