Stephanie Bousley is a millennial who once found herself in over $250,000 of student loan debt. In her new financial self-help book, Buy the Avocado Toast: How to Crush Student Debt, Make More Money, and Live Your Best Life she helps readers find inventive, out-of-the-box ways to improve their finances and self-worth while addressing the real issues causing them to self-sabotage financially.  

About Buy the Avocado Toast: What if the solution to student debt was reinvesting in yourself?

Are you a smart, hard-working person who always seems to struggle financially? Do you ever second-guess decisions to pursue higher education because of your student loans? Has extreme budgeting eliminated joy and comfort from life, yet you’re still several years away from being debt-free?

Conventional wisdom tells us the formula for success is simple: go to school, get a job, work hard, repeat as needed until you retire. It tells us that debt is the result of poor choices and irresponsible spending. Unfortunately, such advice fails to take into account the recent (and not-so-recent) graduates for whom predatory student lending rates have set them back tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars before they even enter the job market. 

In Buy the Avocado Toast, Stephanie Bousley shares lessons learned through years of working hard and perpetually undervaluing herself while coming to terms with owing almost $300,000 in student debt. Through a holistic approach to both net worth and self-worth, Bousley offers readers hope for their own financial situations by providing step-by-step instructions on reducing debt, living better, and rooting out the self-defeating beliefs that keep us broke.
