Never Date a Broke Dude defines the Broke Dude as someone who is someone who is unable or unwilling to match their partner in ambition, drive, commitment, or work ethic, regardless of gender or how much money the person makes. 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 instructions on how to set our own money straight, and keep it that way.
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, 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.
This book meets us right where we are. We’re not trying to be trillionaires. What we need is the lifelong safety net of financial freedom. Never Date a Broke Dude is an entertaining, game-changing read, a manual designed for making sure your money remains your own.

“Never Date a Broke Dude should be mandatory reading for all women! I’m making sure my daughters and all my female clients read it. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, filled with great stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat, while delivering priceless wisdom about dating, self-worth, and financial independence. This book empowers women to set higher standards, make smarter relationship choices, and take control of their future.”
-
“Pattie Ehsaei absolutely nails it with Never Date a Broke Dude. This book is honest, fun to read, and full of life lessons every woman everywhere should want to learn. I found myself at moments laughing into a full-on snort, or shaking my head in absolute agreement. It should be a required right-of-passage reading for every woman in your life.”

“As women, especially ambitious young women, we’ve been told for so long that we’re not strong enough, not smart enough, or just not financially savvy enough to succeed on our own terms, without a man. But Pattie pulls back the curtain on all that nonsense and reminds us just how powerful we are. Never Date a Broke Dude is the essential guide to achieving true financial independence and winning at life as a woman.”
-
“Much like building a healthy relationship with food, building wealth starts with small, deliberate choices and a willingness to take risks. Pattie’s playbook isn’t just a book, it’s a movement, a wake-up call that teaches women to recognize their own value, embrace failure as a necessary step, and rewrite the rules so that financial freedom becomes the foundation for everything else.”
-
"The book is a must-have for women wanting to empower their daughters, granddaughters, neices and goddaughters on how to create their own version of happiness. Instead of focusing on the relationship with men or using men as a financial advantage, the author gives strategies and instructions on how women can follow in Cher’s footsteps and become the rich man of their own dreams."
