It's Not Common Cent$: A 30-Day Personal Finance Crash Course for College Students and Young Adults. How to Manage Money, Save Money Fast, Pay off Debt and Invest in the Stock Market. by Aaminah Amin
4.0
Aaminah Amin’s It’s Not Common Cent$ is a good introduction to basic financial principles for a Gen Z audience. The author presents financial vocabulary through a series of scenarios and walks readers through car buying, health insurance, saving, and emergency funds.
Aaminah Amin also touches on why it’s important to make time for long-term investments, budget, and how multiple streams of income can ease financial strain.
I appreciate that the author included a free Google Sheet budgeting tool for readers to download.
With that said, the already short book could have had some more fluff removed from it. The author was trying to make a dry topic fun with casual conversation and references to parties and college, but the constant humor attempts were too much for me.
