ABOUT THE BOOK:

Uncover the financial narratives of America's commanders-in-chief in All the Presidents Money. Written by Megan Gorman, a seasoned tax attorney and wealth manager, readers explore the varied personal finance stories of the US Presidents—from George Washington to Joe Biden. Find out who really was the poorest president, if Harry Truman was just troubled by late-night financial worries, and whether Calvin Coolidge was misguided by his stockbroker during the 1930 crash. We often view US Presidents as financial titans, untouched by monetary concerns that plague the average American. However, Megan Gorman reveals that they, too, experience financial anxiety, budgeting woes, and the often frustrating pursuit of the American financial dream.
