“[A] personal finance book for today’s economy… written for young professionals who are the first in their family to build wealth.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Always Have Enough is a must-read for first-gen earners who want to finally feel in control of their money and their future. Melchor outlines simple, values-based steps to help you ditch scarcity and build real financial security.”
—Tiffany Aliche, NYT bestselling author of Get Good With Money
“Between a compelling personal story and compassionate, practical advice, Maria Melchor's Always Have Enough is a must-read for anyone building their financial life.”
—Erin Lowry, author of the Broke Millennial series
“Always Have Enough is a must-read for anyone looking for thoughtful and exceedingly smart money advice! What makes it especially unique is the sensitive and wise approach Maria Melchor takes when speaking honestly to first-generation wealth builders.”
—Beth Kobliner, author of NYT bestseller Get A Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties
“Most money books are about getting yourself ahead. Maria Melchor wrote a better one. She doesn't pretend the system is fair, but she just refuses to let that stop you, and hands you real tools to build security anyway. Best of all, Always Have Enough never asks you to choose between rising up and bringing your people with you. This is how you build wealth that reaches backward to the people who got you here, and forward to everyone who comes next.”
—Paco de Leon, author of Finance for the People
“This is the collectivist money book the world desperately needs. In the US, the financial dream promises individual freedom. It delivers loneliness. Drawing on first-generation wisdom, Melchor makes the case for something more radical and more human: financial interdependence… This book will change your life, and the lives of everyone you love.”
—Amanda Holden, author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady
“Financial advice often ignores where you came from, but Melchor closes that gap with warmth and hard-won expertise, giving readers the tools they need to build security without leaving their values or their identity behind.”
—Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale and host of The Happiness Lab podcast
“Maria Melchor has guided thousands of first-gen immigrants, students, and professionals through her FirstGenLiving community. Now she's distilled everything into the essential guide you deserved from the start.”
—Stefanie O'Connell, author of The Ambition Penalty
“Always Have Enough is the kind of money book our communities have been waiting for… This book is not just about managing money. It’s about rewriting your money story, building financial security without abandoning your values, and creating a future where you and the people you love can truly have enough.”
—Jannese Torres, author of Financially Lit
