This book grew out of teaching a class on Personal Finance. Every week, I asked teens what they wanted to learn. After they told me, I went to work: 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.

Result: parent and student demand for the class went up, we doubled how many teens we reach, and I wrote this book so I could give it to every graduating class as a gift.

With over 100 bite-size chapters and exercises, Money for Teens: A Guide for Life discusses everything we could think of:

* Budgeting
* Investing with index funds, which beat 99% of everything else that's out there (if you're looking at 15+ year time frame)

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.
