This was good! Nothing ground breaking - listening to the consequences of student debt is actually quite sad and stressful (I know, shocker), but these essays had tons of smart, funny and lovable bits to balance everything out. Michael is a great writer, and he makes serious shit fairly digestible.
I went thru this in one easy day, which is a win for me. Will look up his first book too 🖤

Well worth reading - especially for those with crippling student debt. I can‘t pretend that I got all the pop culture references but I still enjoyed it and appreciate his thoughtful intelligence.
Usually when I DNF, I fully intend to finish at some point! I just lose steam and think, "I'll set it aside for now and come back to it later." Here are #3Books #IDNFed that I *will* pick up again someday! Really!

Arceneaux is so good. So much truth and humor.
This one I really connect with as an American with huge student debt. It is nice to hear truth and reality to the situation. I also get to giggle at all the nicknames he gives a certain politician.
But there is a shame that comes with not having enough money. We live in a culture that demonizes people for not having money like there‘s something wrong with them. I have carried so much shame with me for so long. I have never wanted to talk about it.” “Knowing people aren‘t being honest with what they are showing you doesn‘t mean what they show you still can‘t get to you.”
