Testimonials
“Hi, Lisa. I want to let you know I read your book and truly enjoyed it. I think it should be required reading for high school students. I wish I had known the importance of investing at a much younger age, especially when I had the opportunity to contribute to a 401(k) early on. I felt I couldn’t afford it. Looking back, I couldn’t afford not to. I look forward to the rest of your book.”
“This book is AMAZING! How To Not Die Broke is so easy to read and understand. I related to every chapter and feel much more secure about my financial future after reading this book. You will, too.”
“I’ve read many “self-help” and “instructional” books and manuals throughout the years. This volume speaks on a level that will hit very close to home with many readers. I also think this should be required reading at the high school level.”
