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, which in turns makes us feel even more overwhelmed by it. In Bad With Money, he 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 sh*t together, like how to choose an insurance plan or buy a car, sign up for a credit card or take out student loans. He 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 his 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.

        December 1, 2018

        Journalist, actress, and LGBTQ activist Dunn (host, Bad with Money podcast; coauthor, I Hate Everyone But You) sets out to disrupt the complicated world of personal finance with this fresh take on money management. In this work based on her podcast, Dunn describes being raised by parents who weren't good with money and thus never taught her how to manage it. The author spent years accumulating student loans and credit card debt in the pursuit of her career. Looking back, she's now able to impart sage advice to those who haven't yet faced the same choices. Never claiming to have a degree in finance, Dunn provides a holistic (and refreshingly non-cis-white male) approach to money matters, exploring topics such as income, relationships, emotional health, marriage, health care, class, education, credit, and taxes. Eschewing worksheets or lofty savings goals, Dunn succeeds in removing the stigmas surrounding money and saving for the future with research, anecdotal stories, and unapologetic opinions. VERDICT A helpful money guide for twenty- to thirtysomethings, feminist or queer readers looking for better advice than what their parents gave (or maybe didn't give) them.--Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis

        Starred review from December 1, 2018
        Dunn (I Hate Everyone but You, 2017) weaves together memoir, social commentary, and financial advice in a humorous self-help book for anyone white-knuckling it towards economic independence. Chapter topics range from the emotional (how to disengage from bad money habits learned during childhood, seeking mental-health treatment when issues influence poor financial decisions, how to talk about money in a new romantic relationship) to the practical (finding a second job or side hustle, rebuilding your credit score, identifying a budgeting method that works for you). This book also addresses financial issues specific to the LGBTQIA community with care and consideration, like planning a queer wedding or financing in vitro fertilization. Best of all, readers can breathe a sigh of relief: Dunn may be a master of snark, but her biting commentary punches up. She doesn't condemn bad fiscal decisions but rather offers manageable how-tos for getting yourself out of a bad situation and planning for the future.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
