About this listen
From the money nerds behind the award-winning Stacking Benjamins podcast, a new kind of personal finance book to get your house in order.
Rich. Wealthy. Well-heeled. Moneyed. Affluent. Not bad — but why not get Stacked instead? If you’ve ever dreamed of a basic philosophy of money that’ll help you live bigger, be bolder, and laugh harder, you need this book.
In these uncertain times, the basics matter more than ever. But for most of us, concepts such as investing, budgeting, and getting out of debt just don’t float our boats (or 150-foot yachts) — and so we put them off longer than we should. Joe Saul-Sehy and Emily Guy Birken are here to tell you that personal finance can be a lot more fun than you think. (No haberdashery, maritime knowledge, or specialized flatware required.)
Learn about everything from side hustles, to hiring a legit financial adviser, to planning for emergencies, to what’s new and exciting — and actually worth your time — in financial apps and software. If you’re looking for the same old get-rich-quick clichés, avocado toast shaming, or alphabet soup of incomprehensible financial terms, you won’t find them here. Instead, Saul-Sehy and Birken take you step by step along the way to financial success, with their signature blend of shrewd financial information and wacky humor.
This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains charts, illustrations and worksheets from the book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Everyone can manifest. We're all doing it - every second of every day - without even realising it. For years, journalist and podcaster Jordanna Levin thought that she was psychic. She would worry about things and they would come true. But she wouldn't just worry, she would feel them, take subconscious action towards them and believe with every cell of her being that they would happen - and most of the time, they did. Until one day she changed the game. If she could manifest mishaps and disasters, why not the things she actually wanted?

Story
Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you own a car).

Fun and accessible financial overview
This book is a fun and accessible overview for people who are new to personal finance (“I know I need to get my money act together, but I don’t know where to start and it’s all overwhelming - help!”) and those who are familiar with the basics and want to do better. The information is solid; the humor is entertaining (if a little corny); and the action items are realistic and achievable. The audiobook format is especially fun because it includes great clips from the podcast “Stacking Benjamins.”
If there’s one gentle critique, I felt that some chapters could have been re-ordered more helpfully. The first chapter feels a bit overwhelming: calculate the cost of your goals and rate of return you’ll need to reach them. And the psychology of money is so interesting and important that I thought it would be better earlier in the book. All this to say, stick with the book to the end, and you’ll learn a lot and even laugh a little.

It is a funny and light read on all the important matters of life from getting out of debt, investing, leaving proper will/trust ( much needed info for me personally) and best of all- YOU GET BADGE after each chapter lol and you get piece of Joe’s Mom’s mind too. Hilariously awesome book!

Atypical Finance Book
See what I did there?
If you are looking for the typical financial book, this isn't for you. I'm a retired financial advisor and have read my share of finance books. This one is different.
Written in Joe and Emily's (and mom's) unique style, this book covers all the important aspects of financial planning. From the basics to the more complex, it's a great little handbook.
Is it silly? Yes. But does it cover what you need to know? Yes, it does that too.
This book is a great gift for someone you know who just can't stay awake trying to read about finances. And even if you are a long-term financial pro, you just might be reminded of some things you forgot.

Great starter book to conceptualize finance
This book is NOT dry! So, I definitely recommend it for people that want to start the journey. I think one of the best items this book covers is the fear of money and the fear of starting to invest your money. There are no promises of great success, but this is the advice that I found about 10 years ago that put me on my path of successful investing. I spent months and months and months gathering the info - Joe and Emily give it to you all in a well though out book.
Shout out to Joe's mom! Thanks for being practical!
