All the key concepts are here

Everything I want my teenager to know about managing money is here.
Consider this an overview to get them thinking.
The details will still need to be discussed in person.
This was a little too much for my teenager, but an interested 14 or 15 year old may hang in there.
It's new, so I'll forgive the fact that chapter 3 repeats itself halfway through. I'm sure the author will fix that by the time you read this review.
I wish I had this information when I was a teen.

The audiobook also emphasizes critical thinking about money, encouraging teens to consider long-term goals and the consequences of their financial decisions. This focus on fostering financial independence and responsibility is a standout feature, preparing teens for adulthood.

Good even for adults!

I found a lot of these money tips useful not just for teens but I even learned a few things myself! I’m really excited to teach what I learned to my kid and to help him learn good saving habits at a young age!

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.

Good financial learning for young teens

Smart Money Lessons for Teens was a thorough lesson of literacy for young teens. Each chapter was presented with a money or financial discipline, such as savings, credit, taxes and bill payment. I think a young teen or adult listening to this audiobook would have a great head start on their financial success as they grow up.

As a kid, I often learned about money skills for teens and financial considerations the hard way, or even too late in life. Sure, a young teen may not need to learn about retirement planning, but understanding compound interest is the backbone of savings in general. Its never too early to learn this important life skills, and this audiobook is a great start.

Money-Savvy Teens? Yes, Please!

I was on the hunt for a way to kickstart the money talk with my teens, and this book has been a game-changer! It’s tailored just right for their age, making the concepts of budgeting, saving, and spending crystal clear. The lessons are engaging and have sparked some great dinner table discussions about money—something I never thought I’d see! It’s fantastic to watch them apply what they’ve learned, like saving for their wants and even discussing investing. This book is a must-have for parents who want to set their kids up for financial success early on. My kids are not just learning; they're getting excited about their financial future!
