Recent studies show that financial habits are formed by age 7, meaning early exposure to money management principles is crucial to your future financial wellbeing. But perhaps you might be thinking, "I'm too young to worry about money," or "This will be just like another boring class." Forget that!

If you're ready to gain financial independence and master money skills in an engaging and practical way.
Advance Praise
This is a very well-conceived and well-developed book designed to help teenagers with the always-challenging world of money, savings, budgeting, and spending. The author uses real world examples to deliver her key points (“an asset is your phone, a liability is the money you owe a friend who paid for your movie ticket”). Really liked the little proposed Activities embedded throughout each section—they sounded like fun. The “Penny-a-Day Challenge” was clever.
The book might be a bit long and wordy for the attention span of a young middle-schooler (easy for older teens) but the principles are sound and on target. I actually think it would serve as an excellent guide for teachers, youth workers, and church groups. I heartily recommend this book as a valuable resource and perfectly written for the audience the author had in mind.

Thank you to Netgallery, Kemi Emmanuel, and BooksGoSocial for allowing me to read this in exchange for my honest review.
This book is a MUST have for all those who are parents or considering becoming parents. I was looking for a book to aid in the financial discussions I have with my teenage son. When I began my search, I wanted something that tackled the basics and covered said basics in digestible language. This book by Emmanuel does just that. This book is a no-nonsense, quick read that is good for parents and teens alike. Even as an adult, I learned a lot from this book! I especially appreciated the use of modern-day examples to illustrate the concepts.
I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy of this book and will recommend to my friends, family, and colleagues. Who this book is for: Everyone!
