About this listen

 “Humorous and forthright...[Gaby] Dunn makes facing money issues seem not only palatable but possibly even fun....Dunn’s book delivers.” —Publishers Weekly

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

In the first episode of his 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 #1 barrier to understanding it, leading us to feel alone, ashamed, and anxious. In Bad With Money, he reveals the systemic reasons behind our struggles with personal finance, demystifying how to choose an insurance plan, sign up for a credit card, or take out student loans. With a mix of humor, relatable storytelling, and genuine advice, Dunn breaks down essential life skills like budgeting, freelancing, and handling dating and money.

Even a topic as dry as personal finance becomes engaging, accessible, and downright funny in Dunn’s hands, as he combines insight and real talk to help readers take charge of their financial future. Personal Finance Personal Success Career Money Funny Witty Comedy Celebrity

What the critics say

"The comic and financial podcaster delivers her excellent guide with the tone and pacing of someone with an oversupply of energy. Along with authenticity and humility, she provides the perfect combination of vocal characteristics for the easily bored Millennials and Gen Z listeners she hopes to reach with her self-disclosures and advice. A Millennial herself, she runs through the common challenges she's faced establishing credit, overspending, affording housing, putting out financial fires, and finding markets for her comedy and journalism skills. She also conveys the message that being honest about your strengths and weaknesses is an essential starting point for financial responsibility. Propelled by her entertaining vocal personality and chatty writing, this is essential listening for young people who are beginning their quest for self-sufficiency."

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.

Lots of rants with little value
