Money and Me
Jonathan Clements · 2026
🎙 Narrated by Christopher Ragland
78/100
👍 Worth It
Jonathan Clements's final book is a genuinely moving capstone to his decades as a personal-finance columnist, weaving practical money wisdom with reflections on mortality and a life well-lived after his terminal diagnosis. It's more memoir-meets-guide than step-by-step how-to, but that's the point, and Christopher Ragland's narration carries the material with the steady warmth it deserves.
