There should be a class in high school called "Money
Smarts 101" to teach teens how to handle money. That's the purpose of this
book. Spend just 10 minutes a day reading the High School Money Book and learn
how to make important decisions about shopping, paying for college, saving,
investing and working. You can be happier and more self-sufficient if you
master money matters now rather than correct money mistakes later.
Reviews on High School Money Book
"My eldest son didn't put it down, devouring the book
as if he were reading one of his thick fantasy tomes like Lord of the
Rings."

morsels of financial wisdom that should hook even the most reluctant teenager.”

"Don Silver has added another gem to his collection
with the High School Money Book, probably the most cogent guide to financial
responsibility available to teens. Its easy-to-understand financial lessons
will excite teens about using money responsibly and get them thinking about
saving and budgeting as they learn the vital fundamentals of debt, insurance,
taxes and investing. I will use these methods when teaching urban youth the
skills of financial responsibility in my own mentoring."
- Greg Nance,
Founder, American Investment Fellows financial literacy mentoring

about money. Teens learn that they can be happier and more self-sufficient if

money grow by saving and investing."
