The Joy of Money

In this practical and empowering guide, the founder and CEO of WorkMoney teaches you to take control of your finances and live your best life. Managing money — and getting to real financial security—can feel challenging. That’s why Carrie Joy Grimes founded WorkMoney, a more than 9-million-member nonprofit dedicated to building an America where hard work affords a good life. The Joy of Money is the next step in that mission. In The Joy of Money, she pairs practical financial steps with the behavioral insights that make them stick. Carrie Joy doesn’t promise a million easy dollars a month from your couch—instead she offers something better: a practical, no-shame path you can actually follow. With relatable stories, clear explanations, and easy tools, you’ll learn how to: get your mind where you need it to succeed; set up a budget you’ll use (and keep using); pay off credit cards and making your debt serve you, not the other way around; invest for retirement, a home, or any big life goal; and beyond. Combining the wisdom of Brené Brown with the financial savvy of Suze Orman, with just enough football-coach-at-halftime for motivation, Carrie Joy helps you take the next right step, then the next one after that. Clear, encouraging, and immediately useful, The Joy of Money helps you do more—and feel better about your money, no matter your starting point.
