Review Quotes: "A superb, reader-friendly resource for young people, ideal for children's library collections. The Survival Guide for Money Smarts is a guide created especially to be accessible to teenagers and young adults, but doesn't talk down to the reader or gloss over tough issues. Chapters address how to make a budget plan; tips for being a smart and mindful consumer; the basics of saving accounts, checking accounts, prepaid cards, and credit cards; investments; and more."-- "Midwest Book Review"
