Smart Strategies for Saving and Building Wealth

by Linda Bickerstaff

Overview

Teens earning allowances or working part-time jobs may often be tempted to spend what they make. However, one of the earliest steps they can take on the path to financial literacy and independence is to start saving money early. This useful volume explains how to create a set of practical long-term goals, how to make and follow a budget, the benefits and potential dangers of credit, and much more. Sample budget and interest calculations provide easy-to-follow examples for readers, and tips on what teens can ask a financial expert to help them save and build wealth are also included.
