112. Six Figure Student Loans, Prenups, and First-Gen Finances with Melissa Jean-Baptiste | Financial Feminist Podcast

How did Melissa Jean-Baptiste go from a first-generation college student with six figures of debt to buying her first home in New York City on a teacher’s salary? Oh, and all before she turned 35. In today’s episode, Tori sits down with the Millenial in Debt herself to talk about her new book, So This is Why I’m Broke: Money Lessons on Financial Literacy, Passive Income, and Generational Wealth. We get into every one of those subtitles and more, discussing how Melissa learned about investing, saving, and building a financial future with passive income. She also shares what might be the best metaphor for why every single person needs a prenup (yes, no matter how in love you are!).
