What a Gem

I loved that this audiobook shared practical money habits every teen should know. The guidance on budgeting, saving, and investing was clear and easy to follow, while the section on using AI for managing money and time felt fresh and relevant. I appreciated how it balanced foundational lessons with modern strategies. It’s a smart, motivating resource for building financial confidence and long-term success for my teens.

Confidence building!

Clear, motivating, and truly practical, Smart Money Skills for Teens turns intimidating topics into easy wins. The book breaks down budgeting, saving, credit, and investing with relatable examples, quick checklists, and “do this next” steps. I especially liked the compound-interest demos and side-by-side comparisons of savings vs. investing. The AI tips are a standout—showing how to use tools for tracking expenses, setting alerts, planning goals, and even learning about stocks safely. Guidance on avoiding scams and building smart habits gives teens confidence without preaching. Perfect for teens and helpful for parents and teachers too. A confidence-building roadmap to financial freedom.

. Financial literacy made simple and fun

The tone is friendly and practical, not boring or complicated. The author really understands how to speak to young people using examples that make sense in their world. My daughter now talks about “making her money work for her” instead of just spending it.

We Needed This

I have a 20-something granddaughter who is having an especially hard time with her money. I found this money guidebook for people her age group the other day. It is aimed at those who may never have budgeted before, and this is exactly the problem. She has no idea how to even begin!

We are actually going through it together. The book breaks down what she needs to know like creating a sensible budget, avoiding debt, and understanding credit. There is a great section on saving while still enjoying life. She really likes this part. The printed PDF is great, too. This way I will be able to bring her back to it when/if she has another problem in the future.

Narrated by J. Garth Hunt, the audiobook is very clear and it has an energy that keeps the material engaging for listeners. His tone adds authority while still keeping it friendly.

A Great Starting Point for Your Teens

As a parent of teens, I know what a challenge it is to instill money and financial management skills in the fast-paced and tech world we live in. While there are many sources of information on this topic, what I like about this book is the way it speaks to both teens and parents about the key topics: how to have a money mindset, the basics of banking and financial terminology, credit and debt management, saving and investing, and much more. While the info is basic, it’s delivered in just the right tone to resonate with the teen audience. A must-read!
