Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"You didn't miss the money class. There wasn't one".Financially Feral is the book that finally says so out loud.Written for the people who grew up without dinner-table conversations about Roth IRAs, who nodded along the first time someone mentioned a 401(k) match, who've Googled "what is compound interest" more than once and still felt more confused afterward - this is the no-shame, no-jargon, no-"just-stop-buying-lattes" guide to building real financial skills from wherever you're starting right now.What makes this book different: Most personal finance books assume you already have the foundation. They assume someone, at some point, handed you the basics. Financially Feral doesn't assume that - because for a lot of us, nobody did. The financial knowledge that wealthy families pass down at the dinner table is real, it's unequal, and it's not your fault you didn't get it.This is the Invisible Curriculum - the financial literacy that circulates in households where money isn't a source of panic. If you grew up without it, you arrived at adulthood surrounded by a system built for people who already had it. This book is the curriculum you were owed.Inside the book, you'll find: - Why you avoid looking at your bank account - and the psychology behind breaking that loop for good- How to know your real number - income, expenses, and debt, without the overwhelm- Student loans and debt without drama - what the options actually are, explained plainly- Building an emergency fund when you can't afford one - a realistic approach that starts where you actually are- Your credit score, demystified - what it is, how it moves, and how to build it from scratch- How to earn more when the system pays you less - negotiation, side income, and tools that exist for working people- Investing for people who think it's not for them - because it is, and you don't need much to start- The system is rigged. Here's how to work it anyway. - tax credits, benefits, and programs most people never claim- A 12-month plan to go from financial chaos to genuine stability - in a sequence that actually worksThis book is for you if: - You're the first in your family to navigate salary, benefits, and investing without a roadmap- You feel behind and aren't sure how you got there - or how to catch up- You've started budgets that didn't stick and wondered what was wrong with you (nothing is)- You know you should be doing something with your money and have no idea where to start- You're tired of financial advice that assumes you already have savings, family support, and a head startFinancially Feral doesn't ask you to become a different person or adopt a frictionless hypothetical lifestyle. It meets you where you are, explains what you actually need to know, and gives you real tools to use in your real life.The system forgot you. This book didn't.
