Please Send Money. A Financial Survival Guide for Young Adults on Their Own.
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A hands-on guide for young people from 16 to 25 years of age on how to handle money.
Written by a money management expert, this book can save young adults from financial ruin. How young people handle their money--and their debt--is a serious national issue. Consider the following fact: the average college student now graduates more than $20,000 in debt, and 97 percent of that debt is non-education related.
Wise, but not preachy, Please Send Money covers all the areas of concern:
--Easy credit and the proliferation of credit cards
--How to manage car payments
--The dangers of using student loans for personal needs and wants
--Dealing with bankruptcy
--Overcoming material temptations
The book is filled with dozens of real-life stories of young people, chronicling their money mistakes and offering prescriptive advice on how young people can both avoid and manage such problems and control their own financial destinies. The book also contains numerous financial tools, from budget and net worth worksheets to a psychology-of-money test and worksheets on the cost of credit and safe debt levels.
Please Send Money is a book parents, friends and relatives will want to buy and slip into a loved one's schoolbag or briefcase.
