Here is what one young adult had to say:
““I really enjoyed the way the book was written. It felt as if it was a casual talk and it was a quick read. I know way more about why I need personal finance, it is clear what to do, and how to do it in the real world!”
—Andrew, Teenager

Specifically for young adults
All young adults. Whether they like shopping for high heels, playing video games, studying in school, dominating in sports, rocking in a band or anything in between, we've got them covered.
Doesn't Take Much Time
They are busy. The concepts of this book show them that it does not take much time to be successful. Also, the book is only about 70 pages, but has everything they need right now.
Just a conversation
The book is written as a chat between the young adult and the author. To help, the author share's what has worked in his life and, equally as important, all of the mistakes he made along the way.
The Real World
The book is loaded with real world examples. They'll be able to apply the concepts into their life starting today.
Knowledge Sharing
Hearing success stories and, equally important, mistakes of others will be helpful in their learning. We've created a forum to do just that. And, they'll teach others a thing or two as well.
A Individual Plan Just For Them
There are no right or wrong answers for everyone, but there is a plan that is right for your young adult. We'll help them put it together.
Simplicity
By using analogies, we bring the concepts back to knowledge they already use everyday. Also, the book is focused on the topics they need right now - nothing more and nothing less.
It's Realistic
It is not a 'get rich quick' book, rather, it is about achieving your goals and upholding your values. After all, if it doesn't actually work in their real life, what good is it?
They are in control
They get to choose. We'll give them options to choose from or to get their mind working, but in the end they remain in control. The right personal finance plan is the one that works for them.
It's INexpensive
We understand and appreciate that budgets are tight at this time. We wanted to keep the price low as we can't sacrifice the learning of our young adults.
