Are you a service industry professional? Do you earn tips? Are you sick of living shift to shift or week to week? Are you ready to take control of your money and your life? Do you want to get great with money, or even just feel like you have your money shit together?
Tipped employees make up more than four million working professionals in the U.S. and they age into one of the most economically disadvantaged populations in the country. (But not for the reasons you think!) Tipped is here to change that, and your life.
Tipped is your step-by-step guidebook to build your own path to financial freedom while working in the industry that you love (and love to hate).
Tipped explains how service employees are left out of the most common paths to wealth building and then helps you build your own path to the financial life of your dreams.
Through real stories and service industry related analogies, Tipped will teach you how to:
- Get started investing today—and actually understand the world of investing
- Avoid industry specific pitfalls
- Budget while on a fluctuating income
- Develop creative ways to build an emergency fund
- Take your financial temperature
- Build your path to financial freedom
Barbara Sloan, a lifelong SIP turned personal finance expert and money coach, is the driving force behind this powerful guidebook. She spent 20 years working in almost every possible tipped position across the country. She has made endless financial mistakes and learned lots of hard lessons, but it was only after working on Wall Street, running her own multi-million dollar company, and helping the wealthiest individuals plan their biggest budget items did she see all of the ways that tipped workers are left out of the wealth building world.
Whether you plan to be a lifelong service worker or are only here for a short time (and a good time), you can create the strongest financial footing while in the least suspecting of places.

Top tier content! I will tell every server/bartender I come across about your book.
As a server I want to say Thank you 🙏 on behalf of everyone else that your book will change our lives. Before I was finish reading I already started my budget template and I am ready to take on the busy season and apply all the lessons that was taught. This is literally a financial course in 165 pages ???? No way! It doesn’t get any better than this. I have worked in quite a few restaurants and 99.9% of the workers don’t have a penny in savings. It always surprises me and majority of them wasn’t living Paycheck to paycheck it was their choice of lifestyle that hindered them. And this book will be an eye opener to those people when they read and hopefully they will take the lessons and turn it into a blessing.
As an Immigrant who doesn’t know much on the Roth IRA and 401 k this book gave me the knowledge for what to do in all aspects. Thank you Barbara you are amazing!!!

Barbara Sloan wrote a finance book to serve a drastically underserved community; strippers, bartenders, waitresses, essentially those that live off cash tips primarily.
She’s done the toughest of these jobs herself, went through challenging times, definitely made significant mistakes along the way, and still came out on top financially. She’s the perfect person to write this book for her community.
She does a stellar job of laying out why these professionals need a separate book with tailored advice for their unique situations.
They really have no human resources department to help with retirement accounts or any other work related issues.
They often aren’t sure if they should report their cash income and the pros and cons of doing so.
They don’t fully grasp how difficult it is to successfully navigate the issues of drugs and alcohol that are such a common pitfall of workers in this space.
They don’t understand or even believe that financial independence is an option for them, but it absolutely is.
The author has proved that in her own life.
She writes with an openness, rawness, and vulnerability uncommon in the financial space.
It is such an amazing read.
Just buy the damn thing.
Buy this book for your friends.
They’ll thank you.
