From financial experts Chelsea Fagan and Lauren Ver Hage, The Financial Diet is personal finance 101 for the struggling millennial.

We've placed a horrible taboo upon talking about money, one that's allowed banks, credit cards, and student loan providers to bury young people in debt.

There's a way out of financially treading water even on a minimal margin — you just have to take yourself seriously.

The Financial Diet – TFD – started as a part-time blog by Chelsea Fagan in 2014. By 2018, it had become a media company focused on young women's finance.

Auxiliary author Lauren Ver Hage is The Financial Diet's Chief Design Officer.

Fagan and Ver Gage share the culmination of their research in this book, which gives out financial advice to female millennials — although it relates to all young Americans.

TFD acknowledges that the millennial generation has less spending power and property than the previous generation did at their age. It's a playbook to financial empowerment for an indebted generation.
