Choosing a partner is the biggest financial decision we make. And yet, not a single book addresses that decision. Enter Pattie Ehsaei, the lawyer turned banker with the stories—and money advice—to pave your path to financial freedom forever.

Never Date a Broke Dude opens with the definition of a broke dude, and it’s not about gender or how much money they have. A broke dude is someone who is unable or unwilling to**match their partner in ambition, drive, commitment, or work ethic. 

In her real-world, big-sister tone, licensed attorney, finance expert, and TikTok powerhouse Pattie Ehsaei shares tales that range from trapped trophy wives and the mistakes she’s dated to ayahuasca revelations and even murder-suicide, while parsing each life lesson into simple, actionable advice on how to set our own money straight, and keep it that way, from now through the end of time.
 
This four-part playbook starts with the basic rules of romance and finance, then climbs from Money, through Work, to Power (or, Self-Worth), offering

• a five account system to control your cash flow, pay off debt, fix your credit, and start investing with just $100;
• realistic career advice on how to dress well (and yes, fund your own wardrobe), work with confidence, choose the right retirement account, and negotiate raises; and
• rules to navigate finances in dating and long term-relationships—like who pays the bill, how to prevent and/or exit financial abuse, what can and can’t be in a pre-nup, options for children’s savings accounts, and more. In the end, this book meets so many of us exactly where we are. We’re not trying to be trillionaires, and we don’t need a yacht or a man with a yacht. What we need is the lifelong safety net of financial freedom.

Never Date a Broke Dude is an entertaining, seamless, yet game-changing read, a manual designed for reality: it’s How to Date Men When You Hate Men, but make sure your money stays yours.
