Manage Your Money Like a F*cking Grown Up: New Edition!

Manage Your Money Like a Fcking Grown-Up* is the no-nonsense, refreshingly funny guide to understanding money that South Africans actually need.

We’re never given an instruction manual for money. Most of what we learn comes from advertising, family and friends – many of whom are just as confused as we are. Since the book’s original publication in 2018, the world has changed dramatically, and this updated and expanded edition tackles the financial realities of life in South Africa today.

Money dork Sam Beckbessinger tells it like it is, covering everything from saving and investing to credit, cars and home ownership. She also tackles uniquely South African challenges such as black tax, supporting children and ageing parents, rising inflation, cryptocurrency and the country’s two-pot retirement system.

Packed with practical exercises, flowcharts, illustrations and plenty of humour, this book makes personal finance accessible, empowering and surprisingly entertaining.

You’re going to earn millions of rands over your lifetime. The question is: will you waste it on things that don’t make you happy, or use it to build the freedom and life you actually want?
