Rating: Summary: This book offers a unique advantage to..... Review: .... anyone attempting to start investing intelligently. It provides information that a person of any age can use, but offers many things to teenagers that other books lack. Most books in the teenage investing realm are "dumbed-down" and talk to future tycoons like they are 10 years old.This book takes care of that and provides a real world knowledge of investing in a way that almost anyone would benefit from reading. It offers many things that other books in this market lack, especially the examples and profiles of successful investors. If a teenager is serious about learning to invest, then this book will help them start in a way that will guarantee them future success. From one teenager to another, I highly recommend this book!
Rating: Summary: Good Book for Teens Who Really Wanna Know It All Review: After reading the other reviews here about this book, I decided to go out and get it myself. I wanted to know everything there was about money after I've seen my parents struggle with things like credit card debt. I was very happy with the book! It teaches everything from the ever complicated stock investing, to checks and credit cards. The only thing bad about it was some of it was harder to understand at times. And that some of the topics got boring at times. But other than that, I was very pleased with the book. It taught me all I needed to know about money.
Rating: Summary: A book they will read Review: Although it contains some information that my daughter thought was unrealistic, like the amount she should be able to save each week, she thought the book had some great ideas. I especially liked that they didn't talk down to the teenagers yet told them about the true financial cost of smoking, the good use of credit cards, ATMS and the fiancial mistakes many people make. A good book that tells it to them straight in a format that they will read.

Rating: Summary: This book is the beginning of your future Review: I am in college. I guess I got this information kind of late. I actually started my first job way later than other kids.
I think this book inspired me to save and invest in my future. I did not know a freaking thing about investing till this came along. The thing I found most suprising was that you don't need any knowlege of the stock market to come out ahead. They make it so simple...and its life changing. I recommend this book if you want to be able to survive comfortabley when your retired.
Start saving and investing now! buy the book.
Rating: Summary: Great intro financial / investing book for **everyone** Review: I only skimmed this book (after all, I own almost all the other TMF books!), but I think this book is by far one of the best financial books for **any** new investor, regardless of age. While other books may have more content, this is one of the most approachable financial and investing books I've read. (Plus, its worksheets **force** you practice what you read!) Readable by adults, too!
Rating: Summary: Getting Closer to Financial Independence Review: I thought this was an excellent book for teenagers. It not only shows them how to intelligently invest, but it also provides funny examples of what not to do in the stock market. I think it would be an excellent asset for people in their early twenties as well because it gives a great deal of advice on money management. In college, most students are not "rolling in the dough", so why not invest what little "dough" you do have and make some money for the future. It can also persuade kids to become healthier because the book outlined what cigarette smoking can do to a person's wallet. As if cigarette smoking isn't already bad enough. I also found the worksheets within the book extremely helpful, and I will continue to use them as guides as I take my first steps towards financial independence.
