3This book grew out of teaching a personal finance. Every week, I asked teens what they wanted to learn. After they told me, worked as hard as I could to acquire the best advice available. I interviewed everyone from self-made millionaires to happy couples. I scheduled over 60 guest speakers on every money and relationship topic imaginable. I read, researched, and experimented. And then I asked the teens again, and again.

With over 100 bite-size chapters and exercises, Money for Teens discusses everything we could think of, including: budgeting, investing, starting a business this week, negotiating, college without debt, getting hired, how your relationships and the rest of your life ties into your money, and much more.

Warning: While the book has 80+ chapters on personal finance and 19 exercises designed to help you budget, invest, buy cars & houses, and/or start a business this week, "Money for Teens" is also infused with Judeo-Christian values. Indeed, Chapter Two is entitled "God and money" because I believe God is more important than money. Otherwise, the book focuses primarily on how to stack up cash and live well.

We must control our money or the triple D's-debt, deprivation, and desperation-will control us. Read, enjoy, and prosper.
