A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Take control of your money to take control of your life

We never get an instruction manual about how money works. Most of what we learn about money comes from advertising or from other people who know as little as we do. No wonder we make such basic mistakes. No wonder we feel disempowered and scared. No wonder so many of us just decide to stick our heads in the damn sand and never deal with it. This book tells it to you straight: how to take control of your money to take control of your life.

You'll learn:

- How to trick your dumb brain into saving more, without giving up fun
- How to make a bona fide grownup budget
- Why you need to forget what you've learned about credit
- How to negotiate a raise
- Why buying a house (probably) won't make you rich
- The one super-simple investment you need

With exercises, flowcharts and informative illustrations (also: kittens), this book is empowering and helpful - and f*cking funny, too.

You're going to earn plenty of money over your lifetime. Are you going to waste it on stupid crap that doesn't make you happy, or let it buy your freedom and your most audacious dreams?

Sam Beckbessinger is a writer and fintech entrepreneur who's spent most of the past ten years building tools to help people manage their money better. Sam also writes fiction and once high-fived Barack Obama (true story). She lives in Cape Town, South Africa.
