What makes the book unique, is that it contains many cool multi-media features including, Videos you can watch, Links to Websites that you can explore, View Color Charts & Graphs that clarify information in diagrams, Read relevant financial surveys that include the perspective of teenagers and their attitudes about finance. Listen to a cool introductory video that includes music to learn about topics covered in the book. To help you remember the information better, we have included Hands-on Activities with solutions. You asked for a book like this since this information is rarely taught in schools, and many parents are working and don’t have time to explain this to their children.
Attention Parents!
According to Brett Nelson’s recent article in Forbes, Financial Illiteracy is Killing Our Kids. Our education system is the source of this problem. Our population needs to be financially literate in order to compete in the global economy in the future, and we are failing our kids. Three-quarters of high school seniors failed a financial literacy test given by Jump$tart Coalition in 2008, and only 5% earned better than a “C”. 5 percent!
But there is hope and this book is designed to provide parents of teenaged children recommendations. I recommend that parents purchase this book, and review it together with your children to ensure they understand everything that is critically important to start a life without financial worries.
