Manage Your Money Like a F*cking Grownup

This narration is a supportive walk through the essentials of financial independence: spending with intention, saving consistently, and letting time and compound growth do the heavy lifting. It also highlights the quiet forces that shape money decisions—advertising, social expectations, and lifestyle inflation—and offers a calmer, values-based alternative.

Across seven chapters, the listener learns to separate income from wealth, read their own cash flow and balance sheet, invest in a way that reduces unnecessary risk, and prioritize paying off high-interest debt. The focus isn’t quick riches. It’s building freedom steadily, so money becomes a tool for a life that feels more secure and more intentional.

• People who feel pressured to spend to “keep up,” and want a calmer, values-based approach to money.
• Beginners who want a simple framework for saving, investing, and understanding assets, liabilities, and cash flow.
• Anyone carrying debt who wants a clear, non-shaming plan to pay it down and regain options.
