Lauren Greutman is everywoman. And her tale of coming back from a life of debt is inspiring. In her new book, The Recovering Spender, Lauren Greutman lays out her mistakes (like many of us), how she overcame them, and then how you can too.
The Recovering Spender by Lauren Greutman is half memoir and half “how to” book on taking back control over your finances and control over your spending.
I’ve often been critical of my fellow personal finance bloggers. Most of them fall into two camps. They typically are: #1 – fall along as I chronicle my life getting out of the massive credit card and student loan debt that I’ve created. #2 – financial experts with the degrees and background to back up the actionable advice and tips they provide.
I personally like, and fall into, the second category. I often do think that readers would care about my personal life. But, often, I’m in the minority of the personal finance blogging scene.
Lauren’s story is a classic personal finance blogger’s tale of too much credit card debt and overspending. Bloggers love to share their stories of coming back, and Lauren’s book is no different. If you love reading personal finance blogs, you’ll love Lauren’s new book.
A lot of readers love to follow along with the underdog and witness the comeback story first hand. And, most personal finance blogs provide that coverage for readers.
That’s what’s made Lauren’s blog, IAmThatLady.com (later rebranded into LaurenGreutman.com) so popular. If you haven’t checked out her awesome blog that started it all, you definitely should.
I have to admit…I was sucked into her story about working her way up the chain at a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company and using her credit cards to get ahead. Like most readers, I’m fascinated by the story. And, the book didn’t disappoint…it has a great opening story of Lauren’s fall and then ultimate comeback.

The Recovering Spender Offers Hope

The Recovering Spender is a book for people who hate talking about money, who hate to budget. It talks about getting out of debt in plain English, which is something that should resonate with the readers of Money Q&A too.
