Stuart Schuffman (born December 16, 1980), better known as Broke-Ass Stuart, is an American travel writer and blogger known for his guidebook Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco, of which he released two versions in zine form and one in book form. His travel documentary television series Young, Broke & Beautiful debuted in June 2011 on IFC.[1]

His zines won "Best Local Zine" in the San Francisco Bay Guardian's yearly "Best of the Bay" issue [citation needed]. He contributed to Lonely Planet's books Western Europe and Europe on a Shoestring, for which he wrote the Ireland chapters. Schuffman writes mostly in first-person narratives about his travel. In 2008, he released Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in New York City.[2] Schuffman is the "Editor in Cheap" for his eponymous culture website and a food, drink, and night life culture contributor to the San Francisco Bay Guardian.[3]

In 2014, Schuffman began the "Kind of Late Show with Broke-Ass Stuart," a late-night variety show recorded live and uploaded to youtube.[4] The same year, Schuffman released a new zine, "Love Notes and Other Disasters."[5]
