Book Description
Despite spending enormous amounts of time on core subjects such as math and science, American students are consistently left out when it comes to financial literacy. In the vast majority of the United States, there is virtually no requirement for high school students to acquire skills related to personal finance. This inadequacy has left most students in the dark when it comes to these crucial skills and has consequently jeopardized the financial future of millions. As students transition from primary education to adulthood, these students end up lost and confused with regard to their finances, creating poor habits that can plague them for the rest of their lives. As teenagers who once lacked exposure to financial education themselves, Avaniko Asokkumar, Sai Bommineni, and Rohit Chakka hope to reverse this trend through writing this guide. By breaking down complex financial topics from investing in bonds to planning for retirement in a simple and relatable way, the authors hope to provide a rich and deep understanding of personal finance to all readers. The information present in the novel's six major sections: Financial Planning; Banking, Loaning, and Credit; Investment Basics; Career-Oriented Finance; End Game Finance; and Miscellaneous Finance, will provide a strong baseline of financial education for readers that they can build on going forward. Ultimately, the authors aspire to provide young readers with practical financial knowledge. By internalizing the concepts presented in this novel, teenagers can leave with skills they will utilize for the rest of their lives.
