Broke But Budgeted: How We Survived Our First Paychecks
How do you build a budget when your paycheck barely covers rent?
Whit and Britt break down their real-life early 20s budgets—from $2K/month in SoCal to shoebox apartments in NYC. They walk through essential expenses, the trade-offs they made (RIP, savings), and what they’d do differently now with an investor mindset. Whether you’re early in your career or just curious how two future finance pros started out, this one’s honest, practical, and proof that every investor starts somewhere.
