The Teen's Guide to Personal Finance: Basic concepts in personal finance that every teen should know

by Joshua Holmberg

It's no surprise that a record number of Americans are declaring bankruptcy while consumer debt and foreclosures are at an all time high. Many adults simply don't have the basic financial knowledge to safely navigate today's environment of predatory lending, identity theft, and nonstop consumer marketing. What's more, they don't know how to leverage to their advantage the valuable financial tools they do have. The High School Graduate's Guide to Financial Intelligence teaches young adults important lessons in personal finance that they likely aren't learning at home or in school. Armed with this information, they will be better prepared to achieve their financial goals while avoiding common pitfalls.

This book is good for both teenagers and busy adults who are new to the subject. The basic concepts in personal finance are covered in 75 short pages, so everything is simple and straight to the point.

The book also does a good job encouraging teenagers to start saving and investing by suggesting them to share their plan with adults to get their support.
