| I am currently using this book to supplement a personal finance course for teens I'm teaching at a high school. Great as a discussion starter for teens and money. Also available is a video of the author which is very motivating. |
Good "take home" resource for teens

| This book isn't as in depth as a few others but it is still technical and results driven. Good choice for a teen who is starting to work or plan for college. |
Good information, paternal tone

I purchased this book for my sons, ages 15 and 19, who need good information about how to earn, save, and plan their current and future finances. The information was very good, indeed, but unfortunately the author's tone was too much like a father or pastor, using formal and slightly patronizing language.
One of the most interesting elements of this book was the assertion that there are only four things you can do with your money: Save, spend, invest, or give away, and that charitable giving is an important part of life. A bit preachy, perhaps, but an important discussion in economically turbulant times.
Many teens may not notice the author's paternal tone, and the information on saving and investing is valuable, so I am giving this book three stars.
