The book covers the gambit of topics, from opening a bank account, to investment in mutual funds and other growth items. This primer provides a center point to a sound financial education upon which important retirement and life decisions can be made.
Teenagers will find themselves better prepared when they learn the key concepts in "The Teen's Guide to Personal Finance." The skills developed through reading the book will provide teenagers the tools to build wealth through saving, goal-setting, investment and legal advantages. Teenagers will be equipped with the knowledge needed to avoid financial pitfalls and other money traps that may pop up. All of this in a tome that has the key financial concepts in its an easy to read format, supplanted by stories, graphical elements, work sheets, and goal setting action plans. Teenagers will find it easy to assimilate the knowledge and apply it.

Review -
This is the book that many adults wish they were given as a teenager. It is full of the information many have had to learn the hard way. The book covers everything from banks and bank accounts, credit cards, mutual funds, and other key financial ideas that are key for a healthy asset growth and maintenance. .The skills that are conveyed in the "The Teen's Guide to Personal Finance" are not taught in schools nor are the sort of lesson that an average kid will pick up through their social connections. It is the knowledge to plan and save for the future that the teenager is facing, making sure they are prepared for whatever may come their way.
