The definitive playbook for navigating love and money to secure your financial freedom forever—from licensed attorney, finance expert, and TikTok powerhouse Pattie Ehsaei

Never Date a Broke Dude opens with the definition of a broke dude: someone, regardless of gender or wealth, who is unable or unwilling to match their partner in ambition, commitment, work ethic, or drive

In her real-world, big-sister tone, Pattie Ehsaei spills the tea on everything—from the secrets of trapped trophy wives and her dating missteps to ayahuasca-induced revelations and even murder-suicide, while transforming each jaw-dropping story into simple, actionable life advice. This four-part playbook moves from The Basics through Money, Work, and Power (or, Self-Worth), offering
  • a five account system to pay off debt, fix credit, and start investing with just $100;
  • career advice on how to dress well (and fund your wardrobe), work with confidence, choose the right retirement account, and negotiate raises; and
  • rules to navigate finances across relationships—like who pays the bill, how to avoid financial abuse, what can and can’t be in a pre-nup, options for children’s savings accounts, and more.
Above all, choosing a partner is the biggest financial decision we ever make, and it’s time we stop running in blind. Never Date a Broke Dude is a juicy, seamless, 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.
