The book is full of tips, advice, anecdotes, and practical steps to take to reach your end goals. At only 175 pages long, it’s a quick and easy read, but the information in those pages is valuable and concise, complete with charts and examples.

This book was very eye opening. I’m reading it as a 26 year old college student so I’m neither a young adult nor a teen, but this book is full of fantastic info for anyone wanting to begin investing. It goes into detail about different types of trades, different types of brokerage accounts and also the different types of investments you can make. All the while giving pros and cons while also giving examples and figures to illustrate what the author is talking about. Highly recommend!
