Financial Literacy 101: What They Dont Teach You In School About Finances

Imagine this: You just got your first paycheck from a summer job. You feel a rush of excitement as you see the number on the check. Finally, some real money to spend! Maybe you start thinking about buying that new pair of sneakers, upgrading your phone, or going out with friends. But after a few weeks, you check your wallet and realize—your money is gone. Just like that.

Where did it all go?

This is a situation many people, even adults, find themselves in. The truth is, handling money isn’t as simple as earning it and spending it. There’s a whole world of financial decisions that can either make your life easier or much, much harder. Unfortunately, most schools don’t teach you how to manage your money, avoid debt, or build wealth for the future. That’s why this book exists—to give you the financial knowledge that no one talks about but that everyone needs.
