Perfect for you if...

  • You're sick of feeling anxious about money but don't know where to start with budgeting or debt payoff.
  • You learn better through concrete challenges and exercises rather than theory, and you need permission to make finance fun.
  • You're stuck paycheck to paycheck or drowning in student loans and want a practical roadmap that doesn't feel punishing.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You already have a solid financial system in place and want deep investment strategy rather than fundamentals.
  • You prefer dense, academic finance books with heavy data and charts over conversational guides.
  • You're looking for a book focused solely on wealth-building or side hustles; this is broader personal finance foundations.

About this book

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.
