Publisher's Summary

The beloved writer-comedian expands on her popular podcast with an engaging and empowering financial literacy audiobook for Millennials and Gen Z. 

In the first episode of her Bad with Money podcast, Gaby Dunn asked patrons at a coffee shop two questions: First, what’s your favorite sex position? Everyone was game to answer, even the barista. Then, she asked how much money was in their bank accounts. People were aghast. “That’s a very personal question,” they insisted. And therein lies the problem.

Dunn argues that our inability to speak honestly about money is our number-one barrier to understanding it, leading us to feel alone, ashamed, and anxious, which in turns makes us feel even more overwhelmed by it. In Bad with Money, she reveals the legitimate, systemic reasons behind our feeling of helplessness when it comes to personal finance, demystifying the many signposts on the road to getting our financial shit together, like how to choose an insurance plan or buy a car, sign up for a credit card or take out student loans. She speaks directly to her audience, offering advice on how to make that #freelancelyfe work for you, navigate money while you date, and budget without becoming a Nobel-winning economist overnight.

Even a topic as notoriously dry as money becomes hilarious and engaging in the hands of Dunn, who weaves her own stories with the perspectives of various comedians, artists, students, and more, arguing that - even without selling our bodies to science or suffering the indignity of snobby thrift-shop buyers - we can all start taking control of our financial futures.

Lots of rants with little value

Very limited financial advice which contradicts itself often. On one part it is preaches that you have to be self sufficient and autonomous, on the other hand the author blames the system heavily to a political extreme for having to do so, but only if you are a woman, non white, a millennial or LGBT. It keeps promoting a socialist/progressive/liberal agenda. That to me it is misplaced politics in a book that is titled as such. It is also extremely discriminatory against non-minority people that try to live a “normal” middle-class life with hard earned income.

You can’t have a book that claims to provide help to get your s**t together financially when all it does is blame everybody successful in the world for you “having” to work hard and be smart financially.

The title of this book is misleading and the content may suit those who wish to hear the story of a young frustrated adult that feels ostracized.

There could have been potential. Unfortunate.
