No wonder we make such basic mistakes. No wonder we feel disempowered and scared. No wonder so many of us just decide to stick our heads in the damn sand and never deal with it. In MANAGE YOUR MONEY LIKE A F*CKING GROWN UP, Sam Beckbessinger tells it to you straight: how to take control of your money to take control of your life.

The book you wish you'd had at 25, but is never too late to read.Critic Reviews
