About this ebook
“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.

Money in calculation quantities defines worth before and after equities exist from purchase. Banking is for the budget schedule money has. Proof that retirement begins at any age from an expert source; is a social security benefit requirement. It's also mandatory for becoming millionaire; who invest in real estate; are savings account bankers, spend with economic experience and guard debt topics of money. Loans are in the word itself; however, that is the limit to asset sharing. There is no borrow money; only taking an offer to gain strategy experience shares. Invested stock and bond give a portfolio a class to live in.

Finally an amazing memoir but also solid advice book. I was so thrilled by the read but got some great advice. Loved the takeaways sections helped keep me clear on what she learned. Trust me if you've lived with credit card debt and feel shame this is the book for you. If you've financially enabled family and felt disappointed by their choices. Still the book for you.
