Hey, internet friends. Teresa here — professional budget-breaker, dog mom, and apparently now an author people are actually reading? Someone pinch me (or just hand me a calculator I won’t lose). 🧮

A few days ago I hit “publish” on my very first book, The Unbalanced Ledger: Budgets, Barks, and Beautifully Imperfect Living. It’s basically my diary of financial faceplants, sprinkled with stories about life with my lab, Sansa, who believes every budget should have a line item for “emergency squeaky toys.” 🐾

I expected maybe my mom and three loyal friends to download it. Instead, something wild happened. The book was selected for an official Kindle Deal, and now it’s picking up serious speed on the charts.🚀

The “How is this Happening?” Stats: 📈

As of this morning, this little book about my messy financial life is sitting in the Top 100 for three different categories:

  • #3 in Celebrity & Popular Culture Humor
  • #8 in Humor Essays
  • #27 in Personal Money Management

I’m over here blinking like I just won the lottery… except I still can’t find my debit card. 💳

Why it’s $0.00 Right Now 🆓

Because the book was selected for an official Kindle Deal, it’s currently being featured on the Free Bestseller lists. That means for a very limited time, you can grab the Kindle version for zero dollars.

Nada. Zilch. Less than the coffee I definitely didn’t need this morning. ☕️

I’m not sure exactly when the deal window closes and the price goes back up, so if you want to read about my financial disasters for free, now is the time to strike.

If you’ve ever:

  • Treated your budget like a “suggested guideline” 📝
  • Let your dog guilt-trip you into buying the premium, organic kibble 🐕
  • Laughed (or cried) at your bank app notifications 📱

…this book is basically group therapy with extra dog hair.

A Small Favor ⭐

If you do download it and find yourself snort-laughing at the part where Sansa “helps” with my taxes, do me a huge solid? Leave a quick review. Since the book is free right now, I’m not making a cent on these downloads, but those “star reviews” are like currency for authors. They tell the Amazon algorithm that the book is worth showing to more people. They are like treats for me (and way cheaper than actual dog treats).

Thank you from the bottom of my slightly overdrawn heart for the support. You’re the reason this ridiculous dream is actually happening. ❤️

Now if you’ll excuse me, Sansa is giving me the side-eye because dinner is 4 minutes late. Some things never change. 🦴

Happy reading!

Teresa (Author of the book my budget wishes I never wrote)
