Capitalism won’t love you back so you might as well stop overachieving, right? You don’t have to tell me twice to work less! Money coach and award-winning journalist Leo Aquino is uninterested in helping the rich get richer. He specializes in anticapitalist personal finance for queer and trans folks and believes in leaving behind the economic systems that don’t serve us (we never liked the game Monopoly, anyways). So whether you need help getting off the hamster wheel of emotional spending, cultivating a healthy relationship with money, or budgeting for the occasional Uber Eats because sometimes life’s gonna life – you’ve come to the right place. Also, how Leo is redefining wealth outside capitalism by paying it forward.
