Description
“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.
