Money Skills for Teens: A Beginner's Guide to Budgeting, Saving, and Investing. Everything a Teenager Should Know About Personal Finance

I got this for my autistic daughter. It is easy to understand and wonderfully illustrated and explained. For any parent or teacher wishing to teach their child money skills this is a great theoretical book.

Money is an essential part of life and learning how to manage personal finance is important. My teenage grandson has already set a goal to go to Japan so want to encourage good saving habits to get there and this book is fantastic!

Great tool for teaching teens about money

I bought this for both of my teenagers, but especially my son. He’ll eventually inherit a modest trust from injuries he survived during the Tubbs Fire, and that reality has made financial literacy feel a lot more immediate in our house.What I needed was something that didn’t overcomplicate things or talk down to him. This does a good job of walking through the basics in plain language. The explanation of gross versus net pay is a good example. It’s simple, but it’s the kind of thing people nod along to without really understanding until it shows up on their own paycheck.The tone feels right for teens. Not childish, not overly polished. Just clear enough that they can follow it without checking out halfway through.It’s not trying to do everything. It gives them a place to start, which is honestly the part most of us never got.I’d rather he learn this now, while the stakes are still low, than later when the decisions carry more weight. Money is one of those things people assume you’ll figure out, until you don’t.This helped me feel like I’m at least pointing both of my kids in the right direction.

Bought for my 15 year old niece. I work in financial services and was looking for something that had some investing basics. This fit the bill and she is pleased to have learned about compound interest, the 8th wonder of the world!
