What readers are saying

"This is literally a financial course in 165 pages. As an immigrant who doesn't know much about the Roth IRA and 401k this book gave me the knowledge for what to do in all aspects. Thank you Barbara you are amazing."
— Christal Stewart, Server

"The personal finances of service industry workers have been overlooked for way too long. If you're a part-time bartender or waiter, you need this book. If you're a full-time hair stylist, cosmetician, concierge, or valet then you desperately need this book. You can still have fun while you earn. Better yet, use this book to — as she writes — 'pay your sexy self first and cover your ass(ets).'"
— Doug Nordman

"So many advice books make it sound like the author is a superhero and that there is no way you could do what they are doing. Barbara isn't like that. She is accessible, funny and honest. She basically tells you that any mistakes you currently might be making — she has already made and then some."
— Elizabeth Silvernell

"I got this book as a gift for my friend and ended up reading it myself. I am a finance professional and a CPA. To my absolute surprise this book ended up highly educational for me. It gave me a new perspective. I highly recommend it and cannot wait to give it to my friend for her birthday!"
— Dina, CPA

"Tipped is right up there among my favorites. Sloan explains finance topics using bar glassware and drink metaphors — making complex topics easily digestible and actionable for anyone in the industry."
— Sean

"I heard about this book on So Money with Farnoosh Torabi. I was like, 'Wait...that's me.' With a lot of luck and buckling down I am almost out of all my debt within a year. I wouldn't have started a 401k or made myself my own HR and paid myself first. Barbara isn't talking to me as if I make $80k a year. It's not like all those other financial advice books. "
