Tiffany Aliche had her financial life perfectly on track — until she didn't. In just five years, a string of poor choices and scams obliterated the foundation her father had helped her build. But instead of hiding in shame, she turned her wreckage into a blueprint that's now helped nearly a million people reclaim their financial futures. As founder of The Budgetnista, Tiffany shares how she clawed her way back from debt, built a global community called the Dream Catchers, and why self-forgiveness matters more than any budget spreadsheet.
