Investment Guidebook For Teens: The Ultimate Start To Growing Your Wealth Before 21 From Basics To Big Wins In Stocks, Bonds, Crypto And Beyond by Emma Davis

hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

This book was incredibly helpful and informative. While it may have been written with teenagers in mind, I believe my financial future will benefit greatly from the tips author Emma Davis included here. She simply and concisely defined a variety of crucial terms — such as diversification, compound interest, and time horizon —  throughout the book. She also emphasized the importance of setting short-, medium-, and long-term SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals. Perhaps the most interesting concept discussed was the idea of a poverty mindset versus a wealthy mindset, or an “emphasiz[ation] of scarcity and lack” as opposed to “resilience, and a proactive approach to financial success.” I also found the quotes by financially successful public figures such as Warren Buffett at the beginning of each chapter to be a nice touch. I highly recommend this book to anyone of any age who would like to get his or her finances in order.
