Wish I Had This Sooner

I got this for my teenager, but I ended up reading it too. It breaks down money in a way that actually makes sense—budgeting, saving, even investing. I love that it doesn’t talk down to teens but gives them real, practical advice they can use right away. My kid is already more mindful about spending, and we’ve had great conversations about finances. If you want to set your teen up for financial success, this is a solid choice.

Fantastic Financial guide for Teens!

Teen Finance Essentials is an excellent resource for any teen (or parent of a teen) looking to build smart money habits early on. This audiobook is clear, engaging, and packed with real-world examples that make managing money feel doable, even for someone just starting out. Whether a teen is getting their first paycheck or just wants to understand how money works, this audiobook breaks it all down in a way that makes sense. A solid resource for setting up a strong financial future!
The audio quality is great, yet there is subtle background static with high volume. It would be excellent if it could be cleaned up a bit.

Real-World Money Advice

I wish this audiobook had been around when I got my first job! Elizabeth Castrogiovanni's narration really brings Leigh Fanson's advice to life, making tough topics like investing and budgeting actually sound interesting and not like some lecture. The book cuts straight to the chase with practical tips, and I especially liked how it encourages smart risk-taking instead of just saying "don't spend your money". If you are a teen or know one, I would absolutely recommend this book as a great way to develop financial skills.

Great Information!

I preview listening to this book over the weekend because I wanna give it to my kids. I have a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old and I’ve been concerned about the lack of education they receive in school about finance, budgeting, money, essentials, and I was looking to supplement something for them. This audiobook is fantastic and exactly what I had hoped it would be. It’s filled with solid information that all teens need as they transition into adulthood to learn financial responsibility.
