Have you ever felt like your wallet has a slow leak you can't find?
In this sharp, funny and empowering guide, journalist Chris Kohler takes you through the rigged carnival of modern life, where the games are broken, the prizes are fake and somehow you're paying $28 to park near the entrance.
From loyalty schemes to late fees, gift cards to sneaky supermarkets, How They Get You pulls back the curtain on how the systems work and how to outsmart them. Written for anyone who has ever looked at their bank account and thought, I swear I didn't buy anything, this is the ultimate handbook to understanding how the game is played - and how you don't have to lose every single time.
You'll laugh, you'll groan and you'll probably cancel a few subscriptions. But most of all, you'll walk away with the clarity and confidence to make better choices about how to spend and save your hard-earned money.
