A Cat's Guide to Money: Everything You Need to Know to Master Your Purrsonal Finances, Explained By Cats

Leave your money worries behind.

Most personal finance is boring, stressful, and quite frankly, has far too few cats. There are a lot of resources out there but most don't take into account the way many of us work these days: with variable income, side hustles, and no access to things like a 401K.

Lillian Karabaic began teaching personal finance because she was frustrated with the lack of queer-friendly, feminist, and, most of all, fun personal finance education especially stuff that deals with actual real-life money issues and doesn't assume you have a full-time job with benefits, 2.5 kids, and a white picket fence.

A Cat's Guide to Money will help you identify your personal values and priorities, craft a customized budget, pay off your debt, and achieve financial security. All in good humor and with tons of hands-on exercises and sweet kitty illustrations.

In A Cat's Guide to Money, you will learn about: The Cat Tower of Financial Well-Being, Purrfecting your budget: Creating a system that actually works for you, Dealing with debt: Simple steps to smash your debt, Learning to love saving, how and why to save for retirement, Using credit: Your credit score, how to fix it if you need to, and common credit myths and Renting vs. buying plus identifying which kinds of insurance you actually need.

Lillian Karabaic is a cat enthusiast, radio host, spandex style icon, public speaker, and educator. As host of the weekly Oh My Dollar! radio show she teaches personal finance with a dash of glitter.

Her work has been featured on CBS, NPR, Forbes.com, Vox Media, the Portland Mercury, the Oregonian, the Journal of Higher Education, Portland Monthly, and in dozens of personal finance blogs and podcasts. An engaging public speaker, she has delivered money management talks at over 30 colleges including Wells College, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Reed College, and Portland State University.

In her twenties, Lillian had 40 jobs, including dishwasher, social worker, tax preparer, organic farmer, bagel deliverer, zine librarian, database wizard, and bicycle valet.
