What the Finance (Personal Finance for Beginners): Real-World Financial Literacy Skills Teens and Young Adults Can't Afford to Miss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960088079)

Are you having such a hard time budgeting your money that you almost have nothing left to save?

Does the thought of student loans overwhelm you and make you wonder how you can pay off your debt... fast?

Do you have a regular job, but you can't imagine yourself living paycheck to paycheck until you die?

If you answer "yes" to any of the above questions, you are not alone. Over 70% of Americans report that money is their primary source of stress. Between all-time high student loan debt, exceedingly competitive job markets, the rising cost of living, rapidly dwindling Social Security, and almost nonexistent pension plans, it's no surprise that teens and young adults have more to worry about than ever before when it comes to establishing financial security and planning their financial future. Understanding the basics of financial literacy is vital in creating a solid financial foundation. Let's face it, none of us want to work forever to merely afford to live. While living with a "YOLO" and "carpe diem" mentality has its perks, reaching financial success requires a forward-thinking mindset.
