On a recent episode of Coast to Coast TV, Elise Thuresson sat down with financial expert and viral TikTok personality Pattie Ehsaei—also known as the Duchess of Decorum—to discuss her bold new book, Never Date a Broke Dude: The Financial Freedom Playbook.
Pattie’s message is clear: when it comes to relationships, financial awareness is non-negotiable. The book had only been out for 12 hours and had already soared to #1 on Amazon for relationships and #4 for money in new releases.
A Personal Story with a Powerful Purpose
During the interview, Pattie opened up about the emotional inspiration behind the book: her mother’s financial dependence, which tragically prevented her from leaving a dangerous situation.
“It ultimately cost her everything, including her life,” Pattie revealed. “I wanted to use her story as a catalyst for change.”
Elise responded with genuine appreciation for Pattie’s vulnerability and mission, adding that she was personally excited to read the book.
The Hard Truth About Love and Money
Pattie emphasized that Never Date a Broke Dude isn’t about shaming—it’s about empowering women to make smarter choices and avoid financial entrapment. The interview highlighted key takeaways from the book, including:
- How to set financial boundaries in relationships
- Who should pay the bills
- How to recognize signs of financial abuse
- What women should know about family finances
- Why “keeping receipts” isn’t just for taxes—it’s for protection
“The most important thing,” Pattie said, “is to keep your eyes open.”
She shared a real-life example from the book: a friend who thought she was wealthy—only to discover her husband had gambled away their entire fortune. The warning? Don’t be left in the dark about your own finances.
A Must-Read for Every Woman
By the end of the conversation, Elise and Pattie were united in their call to action: this book belongs in the hands of every woman.
“Go get the book,” Pattie said. “It’s number one for a reason. People need it.”
Never Date a Broke Dude is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Pattie’s official site.
