What Nobody Taught Me About Money
Valentina's Story in Ten Lessons
by Danny Viasus

Valentina earns a good salary. And reaches the end of the month with twenty-eight dollars in her account.
She is twenty-seven, has a good job and the feeling that money comes in through one door and leaves through another. Until the man who runs the bicycle shop on the corner asks her a question nobody ever asked:
And how much did you pay yourself this month?
Ten chapters. Ten lessons taken from the most-read personal finance books in the world, turned into a single story you can read in an afternoon. A padlocked drawer, a notebook with ten rules, and a twenty-year-old debt nobody ever talked about.
At the end of each chapter: what Vale learned, which book the idea comes from, and one concrete thing to do today. Plus a ten-week workbook to turn the story into your own plan.
Illustrated in black-and-white manga style.
