Money Proud is a difficult read for me because I absolutely hate thinking about my finances. It felt like Nick held my hand through things. Some of his references went over my head, but it made things feel light hearted. He absolutely takes the reader through every step of financial literacy you could need for the average queer life. He makes it relevant for what queer individuals in particular need, and he breaks it down into easy, manageable information.

As much as I enjoy the aspect of having a queer subgenre for this personal finance book, I feel the material is a bit redundant (and this is compared to a person who's read a LOT of personal finance books). I think this would be great for a person who's just starting off their financial journey and needing that extra boost of confidence (knowing that someone from the LGBTQ+ community hears them), but not so much for those who are a bit mature in terms of financial literacy.

This was a very readable, fun book on money habits. I'm old enough (already semiretired) that a lot of it wasn't particularly relevant to me, but the guidance seemed solid and was presented in an engaging way. I hope it will help younger queer folks make good choices!

My thanks to the publisher/NetGalley for an advance copy of this book.
