Get Money

Kristin Wong · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Kristin Wong
73/100
👍 Worth It

Wong gamifies personal finance by framing budgeting, taxes, investing, and salary negotiation as quests and levels — a structural choice that genuinely lowers the anxiety barrier for millennials and young adults who tune out traditional money advice. The breadth trades depth, and some tax content will date, but the psychological and behavioral dimensions of money get real attention here that most personal-finance books skip. Wong's self-narration is brisk and upbeat, matching the playful tone of the text without feeling forced.
