Blurb

The only finance guide that rewards you for being a mess.

Tired of financial advice shaming your coffee runs or adopting a stray pirate dog? Meet Teresa Maza, a Finance Manager who masters workplace budgets but struggles with grocery lists. In this witty personal finance memoir (think David Sedaris meets budgeting), Teresa ditches guilt for funny money management tips and real-life truths—from salary negotiations to unexpected vet bills (thanks, Sansa!).

This isn't your average budget book. It's a humorous take on budgeting life lessons, offering:

Workplace Survival Guide: Nail the value conversation, set boundaries, and get paid what you're worth—straight from a Finance Manager.
Unapologetic Budgeting: Shame-free methods for chaotic lives, including that emergency pizza fund.
Life Lessons from Sansa: Meet the opinionated pirate dog whose costly antics teach life's priciest lessons.
Financial Sanity: Build sustainable wealth without losing joy or takeout.

Perfect for fans of Tiffany Aliche's accessible advice and Jen Sincero's hilarious honesty.
