All kinds of books, newsletters and other media talk about the importance of learning money and investment skills at a young age. But most fail to take the next step-giving teens and young adults a real, working knowledge of money and personal finance. (And, frankly, many of the ones that try to make the connection end up condescending their audience.) This book takes that step. It encourages readers to start thinking like adults about money and all that money means in a person's life. This might make a young person wealthier-it will certainly give him or her the wisdom to avoid common early problems with checking accounts, credit cards and the other tools of financial adulthood.
