Tiffany Aliche, known as "the Budgetnista," is a personal finance media personality and the author of Get Good with Money.[1][2] She also co-hosts the Brown Ambition podcast with Mandi Woodruff-Santos.[3]
Aliche is a financial expert who frequently appears in prominent media outlets to promote good financial practices.[4][5] She has built a community of hundreds of thousands of people, largely Black women, working toward their financial goals.[6][7] Aliche tells her audience to figure out their "noodle budget," which is the lowest amount they can live on, to figure out how much they can afford to put toward debt or save for future goals.[8] In addition to providing general personal finance advice, Aliche also focuses on creating intergenerational wealth among Black Americans.[9] In 2021, she wrote an op-ed in the Twin Cities Pioneer Press about how Black homeowners can overcome racial bias in appraisals.[10] Aliche is a contributor to CNBC among other news outlets and a former Yahoo finance reporter.[11][12][13] She appeared on an episode of Queer Eye (2018 TV series) to give financial tips to makeover subject Tyreek.[14]
In March 2021, Aliche released Get Good with Money, a personal finance guidebook.[15] It became a The New York Times bestseller the week it was published.[16]
Aliche met her podcast co-host Mandi Woodruff-Santos, a personal finance journalist, at a financial conference in 2014.[9] On the podcast, they discuss a range of personal finance topics as well as their own business successes and failures.[17] As women of color, they provide a perspective that's rarely seen in personal finance podcasts.[18] Brown Ambition was a finalist for best business and finance podcast at the 2022 iHeart Radio awards.[19]
In 2019, Aliche collaborated with New Jersey state assembly member Angela V. McKnight to write the bill that became Law A1414, nicknamed the "Budgetnista Law."[20] The law mandates financial education in all middle schools in New Jersey.[16]
Before starting The Budgetnista, Aliche was a preschool teacher in Newark, New Jersey. She lost her job as a result of the 2008 financial crisis, which motivated her to get more involved in personal finance.[16][22] In December 2021, she revealed on social media that her husband Jerrell Smith had died of a brain aneurysm.[23][24] Aliche is of Nigerian descent, and discussed the choice to Americanize her name with self-help author Luvvie Ajayi on NPR.[25]
