Book overview
Feel like managing money is only for adults or people who seem to have it all figured out?
Does the thought of saving, budgeting, or investing feel complicated or overwhelming?
Are you tired of watching your money disappear on things that don't really matter-but not knowing where to even start to fix it?
Yep, these feelings stink. And you're not alone.
In fact, research by Citizens and Junior Achievement found that 78% of teens say they're stressed about money.
No surprise there-most schools teach algebra but skip the part about handling cash in the real world.
