Good Boy, Bad Money (Paperback)

Paperback. You do not have a money character problem. You have a money behavior problem. Most people try to fix overspending with shame, budgeting apps, strict rules, and sudden bursts of willpower. It works for a few days. Then the saved card, the delivery app, the forgotten subscription, the late-night purchase, or the "I deserve it" treat wins again. This book starts from a wholly different premise: That your spending self is not a saint to be reasoned with. It is an animal to be trained. Good Boy, Bad Money shows you how to stop fighting yourself and start redesigning the environment around your money. Instead of relying on discipline at the exact moment you are tired, stressed, hungry, bored, or tempted, you will build structures that protect you before those moments arrive. The author calls it the Fence Method: diagnose your animal, design its fence, defend it from the things trying to lure it over, and maintain it for the long run. Inside, you will learn how to: Find the real pattern behind your overspending with a simple 60-day scanIdentify your spending "breed" grazer, binger, anxious chewer, or status houndBuild a budget that survives contact with real lifeUse friction, defaults, and separate accounts to make good behavior easierStop subscriptions and recurring charges from quietly claiming your incomeDefend yourself against checkout tricks, countdowns, saved cards, and delivery appsReplace shame-based money habits with systems that keep working when willpower is goneThis is not an investing book. It is not a lecture about sacrifice or tracking every coffee. It is a practical, no-shame guide for people who know what they should do with money but keep watching themselves do something else. If you have ever opened your bank account and wondered, "How did this happen again?" this book is for you. This item is printed on demand.
