A necessity!

As a teacher at high school, this book has been a huge help for many students I teach. We listened to this during Homeroom and had discussions about key topics such as budgeting and credit. The guidance on alternatives to traditional college education was invaluable and a necessity for all teens to listen to. There are some key lessons taught in this book about finance, but the strategies to leveraging money was great! I wish I had these techniques when I was planning to go to college!

The book is also really well sectioned so it is easy to navigate, and bookmark to come back to. This will be a resource on my bookshelf for students for a while! - Recommend!

More than an average financial guide

This book stands out for me due to several reasons: it explains all matters finance in a simple and easy to relate way. It does not overwhelm you with complicated strategies, but rather empower you with simple steps and solutions everyone should be reminded of, now and then. Such important topics as credit, insurance, emergency funds and much more are covered.
I especially like the "Navigating the World of Cars and Homes" chapter. It's a complex subject teens and young adults tend to overlook and so do their parents in the subject of financial literacy.
It's a great resource of information and I highly recommend this book.

Very good informations

Though I've read a ton of articles and seen a ton of books on the subject lately, I must admit that the tone of this book drew me in. It provides helpful personal financial advice for the teenage to young adult transition and speaks to young adults on their own terms.
It all makes sense right away because the author uses their language while speaking to the young adult reader. Excellent work!

A must-read for teens

This book is a golden nugget that will help young people build a solid foundation for themselves and build financial habits that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. I am eager to share the tips with my children even before they are teenagers. I love how the book emphasizes the importance of financial literacy and provides all the tools teens need to get started with a simple budget. This book is definitely a great addition to middle school and high school libraries. It really fills a gap that many teens encounter when they start college. Following the advice in this book will definitely make independence a smoother ride.

Listen to this with my Teens!

I have been playing this on the car ride to and from school with my 2 teens. I think it is great, and it even has started a few conversations with my kids! It teaches valuable lessons of money skills and strategies, and my kids seem a lot more receptive to hearing these strategies from someone other than myself. The narrator does a great job, and I love that the author included fun things like "side hustles", my son especially took an interest in that. Great audiobook!

Priceless resource for any young adult

Transformative! This book is a financial compass. I only wish I'd had this information when I was younger than I am now. The insights on college life and the art of making money are priceless. A must-read that made finance not only understandable but empowering. It's my go-to guide for turning money into a key to the life I dream of!
