Rating: Summary: Great for kids, or adults new to investing! Review: Maybe it's just me, but all I ever learned about money growing up was that it should be earned from a job and saved in a bank. This is what most parents teach, because it's what most parents know. And so as a twentysomething college graduate, I have learned more from this book than from any other financial advice book that I've ever read. Most books made for adults start from where the authors believe we adults "should" already be: semi-knowledgeable about money and investment basics and simply in need of more detailed advice. Those types of books always confused me with their jargon and concepts, even when I was a business major in college. This book takes a wide range of topics including basic economics, stock/bond/mutual fund investments, banking, and budgeting and makes it all, well, easy enough for a kid to understand. In doing that, it also serves as a good resource for adults who are true beginners in money management and investing. I wish that I had received this information as a kid, but I think that by reading this book I now know more about money than my parents and plenty of adults ever will. If you are a parent, this is a great way to start your kid on a path to financial literacy. If you are an adult who, like me, was often intimidated and overwhelmed by the world of personal finance, give this book a try to build your confidence and become familiar with various concepts. I don't think that you will find any book intended for adults so willing to break things down the way a children's book does. The funny thing is, most kids that read this book will end up knowing more about money than most adults!
