About this title

Synopsis

The definitive young readers’ guide to tracking, saving, spending, enjoying, and growing money

No one knows what money will be like when you grow up. But here’s the thing: life costs money. That has always been true and will still be true when you’re grown up. Whether you’re using babysitting money to buy takeout coffee with your pals today or trading digital tokens to buy an electric hovercar in twenty years, the same skills you must use to afford your Starbucks this week will be used tomorrow and every day after.

Learn and practise just five skills around money today and you’ll be ready to take on the world, no matter how much things change in five years or fifty years.

You got this.

—from Making Bank

Told through a series of conversations, helpful guides, easy tables, and definitions, Making Bank invites young readers to discuss a subject that is easy to avoid: money. With her signature charm, Shannon Lee Simmons transforms the thornier aspects of finance into easy-to-understand concepts. Whether it’s figuring out how to save for a senior-year trip, wondering what the heck inflation is, or trying to wrap your mind around credit, interest, and crypto, Shannon approaches every subject with expertise and empathy.

By focusing on how to track, save, spend, enjoy, and grow their money, Making Bank rebuilds young readers’ relationship with it—one skill at a time.
