Have you ever felt like your wallet has a slow leak you can’t find?

In this sharp, funny and empowering guide, journalist Chris Kohler takes you through the rigged carnival of modern life, where the games are broken, the prizes are fake and somehow you’re paying $28 to park near the entrance.

From loyalty schemes to late fees, gift cards to sneaky supermarkets, How They Get You pulls back the curtain on how the systems work and how to outsmart them. Written for anyone who has ever looked at their bank account and thought, I swear I didn’t buy anything, this is the ultimate handbook to understanding how the game is played – and how you don’t have to lose every single time.

You’ll laugh, you’ll groan and you’ll probably cancel a few subscriptions. But most of all, you’ll walk away with the clarity and confidence to make better choices about how to spend and save your hard-earned money.

Quick. Easy. Enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this. I’m not really a “financial help or insight book” type of reader or listener, but Chris got me. I’ll shamelessly admit I stumbled upon him through his Youtube short skits which I found funny and informative. This is an easy to listen and easy to follow book. There is no slog of data or numbers for you to try and keep up with to follow the narrative. Highly recommended, I hope he publishes again soon!
