I just finished reading the “Motley Fools Investment Guide for Teens.” As the owner of a teen jobs website and father of two teenagers, I like to stay current on the latest teen help books. I had high expectations, since this was part of the famous “Motley Fools” series. I am happy to say that my expectations were far exceeded.
As the title suggests, the book is a how to guide that teaches teens how to invest their money. I really like how the book gave it to the reader straight. They give real sound advice without talking down to the reader. It is written in a very easy to read and easy to understand format. This is important because most teens do not read financial books for fun. I really enjoyed the chapter that talked about how bad habits could really cost you a lot of money and affect your entire financial future. They used the example of cigarettes to show how that bad habit could cost you thousands of dollars over the years. I also liked the information on credit cards. So many teenagers do not know enough about how credit cards work and I think the authors did a great job simplifying it and passing along the critical information.
In closing, I highly recommend this book for all teenagers, in fact, anyone at any age could benefit from the financial advice and information. I wish I had read this book when I was a teen. If I had, I guarantee you that I would have more money in the bank than I do now.
