Perfect for My Teen’s Money Journey
I got this for my 13-year-old, and it’s been a game-changer. The lessons are broken down in a way that’s fun and easy to follow—no eye-rolling or boredom here. The chapter on budgeting actually got them excited to track their allowance, and the credit card tips were surprisingly relevant. It’s practical without feeling like homework. As a parent, I appreciate how it covers real-world skills they’ll actually use. Highly recommend for teens (and even adults who need a refresher!).

My teen is finally getting it
I got this book for my 14-year-old, and it’s honestly been so helpful. It breaks everything down—like how to save, budget, and even figure out what’s worth spending on. They’re actually thinking about their money now instead of blowing it all on random stuff. I love that it’s simple but still teaches important stuff like planning for big goals. If you’re a mom like me who wants their kid to learn about money without lectures, this book really works.

Teen investing made easy
This book is a game-changer! I was clueless about how to explain investing to my teen before reading it. Riley Wealth breaks down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand terms. The step-by-step approach makes it feel less daunting. I started with small investments and am already seeing some growth. Highly recommend it to any teen or parent looking to build a strong financial future.

Empowering for Teens
I am really impressed with this book. Learning about money is made fun and interesting in this audiobook. My daughter and I have been listening to it together. I really liked how it explains topics like budgeting, saving, and investing. It is really nice for her to learn and be able to understand that money is something we have to learn how to manage, we have decisions to make and understand the value of money. It’s clear, practical, and the exercises keep it engaging to keep her attention. Great book.

Today is the best time to start compounding
I have stated many times that my favorite thing about Skilled Fun’s titles is that they make sure to add interactive elements within the chapters that make sure the powerful financial information sticks. And it’s not just financial 101 given here, these titles also contain incredible advice that will shape the mindsets of listeners for decades to come in areas such as drawing an income, smart spending, and the powerful concept of compounding–something that is more powerful the more time you have on your side. Which is why today is the best time to listen to this and not tomorrow.
