Finance For Youth: The Book

Finance For Youth: The Book Review

After almost 20 years of working with young people and finance both in banking and as a teacher, I found that teenagers aren't getting useful financial education. This book is the first step on the path of teaching teens and young adults the skills that they will need throughout their lives Not a get-rich-quick book, this isn't even about getting rich. Instead, Finance For Youth: This Book covers basic, time-tested strategies like: -Getting and keeping a job -Choices in financial institutions -Making a budget based on priorities -Getting a car Living on your own for the first time, and much more! Since our schools either cannot or will not teach financial literacy, Finance For Youth has stepped in to give parents, teens, young adults, and those who might need a little nudge in the right direction an alternative based on experience and authority in the subject.

Praise for SAFELY PROSPEROUS or REALLY RICH?

"Howard's brilliant concept that the roads to Prosperity and Riches are very different is very liberating. In most financial books, the author would never do what Howard has done-recount with unflinching honesty the big financial mistakes he and his subscribers have made over the years so readers can avoid the same stumbling blocks and pitfalls. Only a very secure man would have the guts to do that."
-Robert Allen
author of Multiple Streams of Income and Nothing Down

"Howard Ruff is back, offering a wealth of powerful new financial advice for America's middle class. In his new manual, Safely Prosperous or Really Rich?, he challenges you to choose between two roads. The older I get, the more I favor 'Safely Prosperous,' but you make the call. I also love Howard's old-fashioned moral perspectives on money."
-Mark Skousen
editor of Forecasts and Strategies

"Safely Prosperous or Really Rich? is destined to be one of the most influential books of the early twenty-first century, just as his mega bestseller, How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years, changed millions of lives in the late '70s. Welcome back, Howard."
-John Mauldin
author of Bull's Eye Investing
