The Joy of Money

How to Do More With and Feel Better About Your Money—No Matter How Much You Have

About this book

An Instant USA Today Bestseller

“Carrie Joy meets you where you are and shows you exactly how to take control of your money, one concrete step at a time.” —Farnoosh Torabi, host of So Money and author of A Healthy State of Panic

“This is more than a guide to finances. It is a call to believe in yourself, and to live the live you deserve.” —Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators

In this practical and empowering guide, the CEO of WorkMoney teaches you to take control of your finances to live your best life.

Managing money — and getting to real financial security—can be challenging. That’s why Carrie Joy Grimes founded WorkMoney, a 9+ million member nonprofit that helps hardworking Americans afford to live good lives. The Joy of Money is her next step in equipping working people with the tools and knowledge they need to build financial security.

In The Joy of Money, Carrie Joy pairs practical financial steps with the behavioral insights that make new habits stick. She doesn’t promise "a million dollars a month from your couch." She offers something better: clear explanations, real-life stories, and tools you can put to use today.

Get ready to:


Build the right mindset to succeed.

  • Make your debt serve you, not the other way around.

  • Save more and spend less without cutting joy from your life.

  • Invest for retirement, a home, and other big life goals.

  • Live the life you want—because that’s what the money is for!


    Combining the financial savvy of a CEO, the motivational power of a football coach, and the way your favorite aunt always has your back (and actually useful things to say), Carrie Joy helps you take the right next step, then the next one after that. Clear, encouraging, and immediately useful, The Joy of Money helps you do more with and feel better about your money, no matter your starting point.
