Review Financial Literacy for Millennials
by ANDREW O. SMITH
Description
Andrew O. Smith’s “Financial Literacy for Millennials: A Practical Guide to Managing Your Financial Life for Teens, College Students, and Young Adults” provides readers with a complete and fundamental blueprint about personal finance management intended to aid today’s youth in securing a stable future. As financial education has been a growing concern for many nations (especially in the United States), Smith’s “Financial Literacy for Millennials” attempts to bridge that gap by providing a curriculum guide over the subject matter, including how financial systems work and are constituted in the state. In this volume, readers get to understand the basics of saving, investing smart, and how to use debt to advantage rather than the opposite. “Financial Literacy for Millenials” is seen as a great learning tool for young adults and new grads who would need a convenient and cohesive roadmap as they secure their future.
