The beloved writer-comedian expands on her popular podcast with an engaging and empowering financial literacy audiobook for Millennials and Gen Z.
In the first episode of her 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 number-one 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, she 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 shit together, like how to choose an insurance plan or buy a car, sign up for a credit card or take out student loans. She 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 her 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.

Picked this up cause it seemed like it would be a good personal finance book. In reality it’s more anecdotal about how the author was bad at money and some basic steps on how to avoid similar situations. Definitely not on par with other books and personal finance writers like Ramit Sethi or Dave Ramsey (which she even notes as an inspiration for her).
Never listened to her podcast but I get the sense the book is a way to monetize and advertise the podcast.
Also the end of the books takes a really weird turn and starts pushing for extreme socialist policies. Not even just like Bernie socialism or subsidized health care, she writes about worker controlled companies and the ousting of capitalism as a whole. She even makes her conclusion of the book on that which is weird since most of that book didn’t have anything to do with that. Kinda leaves a sour taste in your mouth after a mostly enjoyable book.
Overall it’s an alright book and has interesting stories and some basic advice. I feel like nothing in depth was really provided and is more entertainment than education. Unfortunately not what I was hoping for.
