Books by Brynne Conroy

Brynne Conroy started writing about money when she didn't have any. As she figured out ways to save more and earn more, she shared them with the world on her award-nominated blog--Femme Frugality--and progressively climbed up the economic ladder. Six years later, she continues to run the blog while contributing to personal finance and parenting publications both in print and on the web. Emily Guy Birken is a former educator and lifelong money nerd who specializes in the scientific research behind irrational money behaviors. Her background in education allows her to make complex financial topics relatable and easily understood by the layperson. She is the best-selling author of four books: The Five Years Before You Retire, Choose Your Retirement, Making Social Security Work for You, and her newest title End Financial Stress Now. Her work has appeared on The Huffington Post, Business Insider, Kiplinger's, and MSN Money. She makes her home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a mechanical engineer husband, two Lego-obsessed boy-children, a retired greyhound, and a cat who likes to sit on her keyboard.
