Samenvatting:

A bestselling, practical book that helps young adults learn the money habits school never taught-so they can take control, start saving with confidence, and build long-term financial freedom.

Simple enough for your first job. Powerful enough to reset your money at any stage.

"This book can help you take control of your life without living paycheck to paycheck."

- Will Ferrell, from the foreword

These simple steps help young adults begin building wealth early and confidently.
