Basic Personal Finance: A Practical Guide to Financial Wellbeing

1. Learn the basics of compensation, taxes, budgeting, banking, and credit
2. Recognize the importance of starting financial planning early
3. Protect and grow their wealth

A recent study from the Economic Policy Institute found the median retirement savings for people between 32 and 37 years old is less than $500. Don't wait to start saving, and don't waste money on "get-rich-quick" schemes. The safest, most proven way to accumulate wealth is through disciplined saving and long-term investing, and Basic Personal Finance shows you how. The authors combine practical advice, serious academic research, and 23 years of classroom experience to help young adults follow a successful path to financial wellbeing.

A must read for every high school and college student!

"This book is full of financial lessons that every adult wishes they'd known coming out of high school. A must read for anyone under 30."
