Sick of being broke, Erin Bunch and Michelle Vick set out on a quest to live the fabulous lives they wanted — but without having to skip the country to evade creditors.  Thus was born Broke Girl’s Guide, a site and daily email dedicated to helping savvy girls live large and spend small in all areas of their lives, from beauty and fashion to travel to making a tiny apartment look just like a Malibu mansion (er, close enough). Currently based in LA, Erin and Michelle have not yet been forced to leave the country, though an escape to Rio is still part of their 5-year plan (if only for the men).

Enrich your life by signing up for their daily email and you are warmly invited to stalk them on both Twitter and Facebook.
