A necessity!

As a teacher at high school, this book has been a huge help for many students I teach. We listened to this during Homeroom and had discussions about key topics such as budgeting and credit. The guidance on alternatives to traditional college education was invaluable and a necessity for all teens to listen to. There are some key lessons taught in this book about finance, but the strategies to leveraging money was great! I wish I had these techniques when I was planning to go to college!

The book is also really well sectioned so it is easy to navigate, and bookmark to come back to. This will be a resource on my bookshelf for students for a while! - Recommend!

Great Financial Advice for Teens and Young Adults

I got this audiobook for my teenage niece, and it’s been an invaluable resource. It breaks down personal finance into simple, relatable steps—covering everything from budgeting to saving for big purchases. The section on avoiding common money myths was a real eye-opener for her, and the practical tips on making money and planning for the future were incredibly motivating. If you want to help a teen start their financial journey with confidence, this guide is a must-have!

Super Helpful and Easy to Understand!

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy an audiobook about money this much, but it completely surprised me! It explains everything in a way that actually makes sense—like why budgeting isn’t boring and how to make big purchases seem possible. It even covers stuff I’d never thought about, like setting up a secure financial future. I feel so much more confident about money now. Totally recommend this if you’re a teen or young adult trying to figure out finances!

Listen to this with my Teens!

I have been playing this on the car ride to and from school with my 2 teens. I think it is great, and it even has started a few conversations with my kids! It teaches valuable lessons of money skills and strategies, and my kids seem a lot more receptive to hearing these strategies from someone other than myself. The narrator does a great job, and I love that the author included fun things like "side hustles", my son especially took an interest in that. Great audiobook!

Straightforward & packed with great advice

Just finished listening to this, and as a mom with a teenager, I have to say, this audiobook is a goldmine! It's like the missing manual for teaching teens about money in a way that's actually engaging and relevant to them.

Amy Acevedo's approach is down-to-earth and super relatable. The way she explains financial concepts is clear and straightforward, without any of the usual jargon that can make finance topics seem daunting. It's like having a savvy aunt share her best money tips.

What's fantastic about this book is how it covers all the bases – from budgeting and saving to investing and smart spending. It's packed with practical advice and real-life examples that my teen could easily understand and, more importantly, see the value in applying to his own life.

I particularly appreciated the sections on managing credit and understanding student loans, which are so crucial for young adults about to step into the real world. The audiobook is not just about managing money; it teaches about making informed, responsible financial decisions.

As a parent, I found it super helpful too. It gave me a fresh perspective on discussing money matters with my teen, making those conversations a lot more productive and less eye-roll-inducing!

In a nutshell, "Smart Money" is an essential listen for parents and their teens. It empowers young adults with the financial literacy skills they need, setting them up for a future of financial success and savvy. A total must-have in your parenting toolkit!
