Get Money: Live the Life You Want, Not Just the Life You Can Afford

Get Money is a step-by-step guide to personal finance that frames money management as a game with clear goals and challenges to overcome. Kristin Wong addresses common financial obstacles—student loan debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and other money concerns—and argues that approaching finances strategically can make the subject both understandable and engaging. The book includes a series of challenges designed to improve financial literacy, interviews with financial experts, and practical exercises. Topics covered include building a functional budget, accelerating debt payoff, improving credit scores, negotiating effectively, developing side income, and starting an investment portfolio. Through this gamified approach, readers learn concrete money management skills without the stress of traditional financial instruction.
