Personal Finance for Young Adults, Leon King, 2022
This book attempts to explain the basics of financial literacy, for all those young people who never learned about it in school.
It looks at alternatives to a regular 9-to-5 job, how to make more money in a job and setting financial goals. A budget, of some kind, is a very good idea. The first step is to know how you are spending your money, so, for the next couple of days, write down every expenditure.
Debt is not always a bad thing. The author introduces the reader to the world of credit cards and interest rates. At some point in a person's life, a car, and then a mortgage, will be needed. The book gives the basics. It also talks about investing, and planning for retirement.
Don't try to "get" this book in one sitting. It's OK to read it more than once. This book does a first-rate job of exploring the world of personal finance. For any young person who asks "What is financial literacy?" this book provides the answer. It is very much worth the time.
