There once was a fisherman...There once was a father with two sons...There once was a woman with two daughters and a stepdaughter named Ella...Fairy tales have always been about two things: family and money. Cinderella wouldn't have ended up scrubbing those hearthstones if there had been other ways for her to earn a living wage; the fisherman and his wife wouldn't have had to ask a fish to help them get out of their shack if real estate prices had been more affordable. Frugal and the Beast retells these classic stories in our current era, reminding us that parents still leave people out of christening parties and fathers still claim their daughters can spin straw into gold -- and although the exchange rate is a little different than it was in the days of the Brothers Grimm, the lessons are just as relevant."The Billfold turns personal finance advice on its head, so it's no wonder it would do such clever things with fairy tales. These stories reveal so much about who we are and how we live today." -- Mike Dang, co-founder of The Billfold and editor-in-chief of Longreads"I never knew I need Rumpelstiltskin to involve Bitcoin or a parable about instant pots, but I'm so much happier now that I've read both. These stories will both delight and get you thinking about money." -- Lillian Karabaic, author of Get Your Money Together and host of Oh My Dollar!
