Steven Lome

Baby-boomer Steven Lome wrote his first book, "The $500 Cup of Coffee," a guide to financial independence for millennials, with his cousin David Kramer. Steve, a former real estate developer, and Dave, a mortgage broker, nearly lost their shirts when the housing market crashed in 2008. Picking up the pieces, they wrote "The $500 Cup of Coffee" to inspire young people to think more carefully about planning for education, work, home, family, and the future.
