Review
"This book belongs in the classroom or on the professional or nonfiction shelves where a parent or educator might use it for valuable life lessons." - VOYA
"With frightening anecdotes and ample documentation, the authors present a convincing thesis that debt is rampant among teens, college students, and recent grads. They then go on to provide facts on budgeting, saving, investing, dealing with debt, understanding mortgages and loans, and even planning for retirement." - Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
"Anyone doubting the importance of guiding teens in the area of personal financial management need only read the first five pages of the introduction to become a believer....The highlight of the book is the 18-page resource guide of education resources, Web sites, and brief annotations of financial management services. Highly Recommended." - The Book Report
"This book is a fast read. It culls essential information on financial management into one source....this book is an invaluable resource on this matter....Bijlefeld and Zoumbaris do an acceptable job of providing advice for teens on personal financial management." - Melissa McShea
