When you’re staring at an empty wallet, overdue bills, and mounting pressure, the last thing you need is fluffy advice or get-rich-quick slogans. You need something real. That’s where Never Stay Broke by Joseph Rutakangwa steps in—a raw, honest, and highly-practical guide for anyone trying to survive financial hardship or rebuild from ground zero. Whether you’re jobless, overwhelmed, or simply stuck, this book hands you something priceless: a roadmap you can actually follow—starting today.

A Manual for Survival (Not Just Money Advice)

The book is broken down into three clear parts: Survival, Stability, and Legacy. Each phase offers practical advice tailored to your current stage, whether you’re just trying to eat today or building a future that includes financial freedom.

• In the Survival section, you’ll learn how to make cash in the next 24 hours using what you already have—no degree, no business, no perfect credit required. You’ll find gritty ideas like flipping free items, offering micro services, or using gig apps to generate income right away.
  
• The Stability phase moves you from daily panic to monthly planning—helping you build routines and rhythms that offer breathing space and structure.
  
• The Legacy section is all about long-term impact—creating a life where you’re not just surviving but passing on strength, stability, and freedom.
  

What Sets This Book Apart?

It’s brutally honest. Rutakangwa doesn’t pretend success is easy or instant. He acknowledges the shame, fear, and paralysis that often come with being broke. He speaks directly to the reader who’s exhausted, discouraged, and overlooked. There’s no toxic positivity here—just clarity, compassion, and courage.

He teaches that action—even the tiniest step—matters more than motivation. Whether it’s selling an old jacket, offering to babysit, or borrowing a tool to flip a $0 find, this book insists on one truth: your power is in your motion. Not your background, not your bank account, not your perfect plan. Just your willingness to try, again and again.
