Publisher's summary

Avoid unnecessary debt, financial stress, and bad investments right from the start with this simple seven-step system for financial literacy.

We learn a lot of things in school that we seem to never need again. Yet one of the most important factors of a successful adult life remains almost untouched by schools: financial literacy.

The lack of knowledge and experience with money management comes at devastating costs for young adults: Nearly one in five adults between the ages of 18 and 24 with a credit record in the US currently have debt in collections.

Many of them will likely accumulate more and more debt in the upcoming years, leaving them with little to no assets and an uncertain future.

If you are between the ages of 17 and 25, it is crucial to educate yourself about personal finance.

By doing so, you will be able to utilize the money you make in the best way possible, set and achieve your boldest goals, and create financial independence for yourself.

But what is the best way to get started? Unfortunately, there is a lot of outdated and misleading information out there that can actually worsen rather than improve your financial situation.

Thankfully, this book is different. It will help you understand the most important aspects of money management, so you can achieve financial independence in just seven simple steps.

Inside this book, you will discover:

  • How to build a financial mindset that will set you up for a successful future
  • The five most common mistakes when setting up financial goals and how to avoid them
  • Making money: How to find a job, even if you have little to no work experience yet
  • The ultimate guide to getting rid of debt and staying out of it
  • An introduction to budgeting: What it is, why you need it, and how to make it work for your individual situation
  • The six best investment types for newbie investors and how to determine which ones will work best for you
  • And much more!

Essential tips

This should be required listening for all young people - unfortunately they are just simply not taught these skills at school, and often parents don’t know how to teach them or don’t practice the skills themselves. The most important thing we can do is teach young adults about credit, investing, and personal finance, and this audiobook does it in a comprehensive yet engaging way

Invaluable Resource

This audiobook starts out by hitting the nail on the head. We learn how to get job and make money, but not how to manage it... and how to build wealth. Personal Finance for Young Adults is an invaluable resource for teens transitioning into adulthood and is also is great for reparenting/teaching ourselves, as grown adults for the lessons we didn't really learn. I wish i had this information in my teens.

This is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to understand money, learning how to build wealth and become responsible adults. I like the personal touch of stories and personal relatable experiences throughout the audiobook. I especially love step 7, to reevaluate financial goals. So the audiobook sets you up on the right food, then recommends reevaluation constantly as you transition what you have learned into practice. Great resource! recommended listen.

Save early, save young.

This book is a great guide for young people to start earning and saving their money for their journey into their future life. I think one of the most important aspects of this book is how to develop the mindset it takes when it comes to dealing with their financial success for building wealth and having a bright future ahead of them. The 7 steps to follow is a simple agenda to follow to accomplish just that. This is a book I would recommend to any young person trying to navigate their way to financial success.
