About the Book:
“…engaging and useful…Crabtree shows a
unique respect for young people as thinkers, earners, spenders and
investors and enables them with a wise
framework.”

“This book speaks to, rather than at,
the teenager and engages the individual in learning why it is
necessary to become financially responsible. I do wish I had
something like this when I was a young adult.”

School, Denver, CO
Most people would agree that their
current financial situation would be far better if they had learned
some basic lessons about money when they were young. Money for
Teenagers provides youth with an introductory financial
education and helps them establish a positive outlook about, and
healthy behaviors toward, money. The book promotes feelings of
freedom, tempered with discipline, to help establish good financial
behaviors among its readers.
Money for Teenagers
begins with fresh perspectives on money and presents a healthy view
of it as a resource that can be used purposefully. Many of
society's biggest concerns regarding money are addressed, and the
reader is encouraged to avoid common pitfalls, such as living
paycheck-to-paycheck or incurring burdensome debt. Two important
assets, time and habit, are revealed, and the ways in which these
can help teenagers create an abundant and financially secure future
are discussed. A money management system is introduced for youths
to employ now and continue using into their adult years.
