When Edie tumbles into a dark, endless financial hole, she discovers she isn’t alone. The Money Monster lurks in the shadows, echoing every fear, mistake, and regret she carries about her finances. He’s been stalking her for as long as she can remember, and in this moment, she finally gets the guts to confront him.

But as she confronts the terrifying creature, she begins to see the truth: the monster isn’t here to destroy her—he’s here to teach her.

In Tame Your Money Monster, financial expert Nancy Benet and writer Adrienne Freeland tell a story about one woman who claws her way out of financial ruin to build a better life. On the surface, it’s a story about personal finance, but the deeper purpose of this book is to invite you into a new story of peace and financial security so you have a strong foundation on top of which to build the life of your dreams.

Part universally relatable story, part hands-on problem-solving workbook, Tame Your Money Monster provides a roadmap for exactly how you can rewrite your financial future. This book is not your typical, sterile, financial resource. It’s a beautiful narrative that draws you into Edie’s life in order to help you get a better glimpse of your own.
